It seems that in the definition of `\currentchapterdefs` (or probably all commands that might influence headers and footers) it is necessary to reset `\spaceskip` and `\xspaceskip` to standard values. If I add ``` @tracingall ``` to the example from the previous e-mail, I see ``` ....@textrm C ....@textrm h ....@textrm a ....@textrm p ....@textrm t ....@textrm e ....@textrm r ....@glue(@spaceskip) 3.64961 ....@textrm 1 ....@textrm : ....@glue(@xspaceskip) 5.475 ....@textrm M ``` vs. ``` ....@textrm C ....@textrm h ....@textrm a ....@textrm p ....@textrm t ....@textrm e ....@textrm r ....@glue 3.65 plus 1.825 minus 1.21666 ....@textrm 1 ....@textrm : ....@glue 4.86665 plus 3.65 minus 0.60832 ....@textrm M ``` Werner
