Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57448 (project groff): How it kerns characters elsewhere on the line should have no effect on whether it is willing to break a line at a hard hyphen. If it does, this is a bug.
groff will not break the line at a hyphen after these particular letter combinations. You can verify this by varying the line length from 1 to 1.99 inches, a hundredth of an inch at a time, to see the various places groff breaks the line: seq -w 0 99 | xargs -I FRACTION printf '.br\n.ll 1.FRACTIONi\nOne has the DW-style switch.\n' | groff -a | fgrep One | uniq (The above is all one line, though this bug tracker will probably break it.) _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?57448> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
