Hi Nagy,

seems you got the width specification garbled while creating your .tfm
files: the +25 font runs too small, therefore the protruding hyphen does
not stick out.  See:

% g30.tfm is grailregular+30.tfm
% g25.tfm is grailregular+25.tfm
% g20.tfm is grailregular+20.tfm

\pdfmapline{+g30 "1.03 ExtendFont" <grailregular.pfa}
\pdfmapline{+g25 "1.025 ExtendFont" <grailregular.pfa}
\pdfmapline{+g20 "1.02 ExtendFont" <grailregular.pfa}

\font\aa g30 at 20pt
\font\bb g25 at 20pt
\font\cc g20 at 20pt

\parindent=0pt

\aa Hello World GrailRegular

\bb Hello World GrailRegular

\cc Hello World GrailRegular

\bye

They should be in descending text width, but they aren't.

Regards, Hartmut
