[pdftex] \letterspacefont

[Reinhard Kotucha]

Hi, 
I just encountered something unexpected with \letterspacefont in
pdfTeX 3.1415926-1.40.11-2.2 (TeX Live 2010) if the amount of spacing
is zero.  Try the example below:

\parskip=0pt
Paragraph begins here\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font  0 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font  1 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font 10 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font 20 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font 30 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
{\letterspacefont\x=\font  0 \x THE QUICK BROWN FOX...}\par
\bye

Regards,
  Reinhard
