Hi Ulrike,
The new build of today seems to have handled most pdftex problems.
Thanh warns that even with the patch:
> interword spaces are not inserted at font switch when font expansion
> is activated (microtype)
So the fix is not complete, but it's an improvement (if we don't have to
back it out entirely). He doesn't plan to try to fix the above
no-space-at-font-switches for microtype this year, given all the
problems already encountered.
But now (or perhaps this was already the case earlier) \pdffakespace
Sorry to hear it. I passed it on to Thanh.
Thanh is not on the tex-live list. Everyone, please write him directly
(hanthethanh at gmail dot com) with further bug reports at this
time-sensitive moment ... --thanks, karl.
