I prepared a minimal example with this critical error in character
protruding, it can be downloaded from the
http://www.freeweb.hu/gimb/files/mgtest.tar.gz location.
Instuctions:
1. Extract the archive and go into the mgtest/ directory.
2. Run the following (be sure that ConTeXt is installed, it contains a
good base for a minimal plainTeX-based formats)
pdfetex -ini "*test.ini"
3. Try the example with
pdfetex -efmt test mgtest.tex
4. Search the line ended with "alkalma-" (9th line bottom), there is no
more hanging hyphen.
Comments:
1. The tfm-files are big, they contain a lot of kerning information.
2. If somebody gets a correct result, please, let me see! Or if anybody
has an idee, please, let me know!
Greetings,
Bence
