After reading some of the manuals that mention \showmakeup with and
without [spaces] and so forth, I couldn't find any more info related
to this.
If anyone can provide me more information as to what does HK means there?
horizontal kern
Anyhow
If I were to have, say, a control _word_ such as \TeX\, the sequence of
TeX kerning is thrown off. The only remedy would be to have a a \qquad
preceding the control sequence e.g., {\qquad
\TeX\ significantly} to sort of ameliorate this side-effect. But then
again. Spacing is off. e.g.,
no MWE so a space cam come from anywhwere
The separation of any of these four components would have
hurt {\qquad\TeX\ significantly}. If I had not participated fully in
x{\showmakeup[glue]x\qquad x}x
imo \qquad is okay
But it's interesting that \showmakeup, kerning and spaces would
display what's to be expected. And yet, the aformentioned set of
tSP:3.282
THK:-1.721

X
HK:-1.291
SP:3.282
is accurate nevertheless. And a very nice implementation at that,
but one I fear can't be included on a final document either.
With that being said, the introduction of a \qquad, in addition to
\showmakeup with, say, redundancy aside, whatever is preceding the \TeX\
alongside the file would also introduce a space where no space was ever
there before.
Because of all of this, and unfortunately, \showmakeup is not quite helpful
here either. Although it does so displays the amount of spaces and
so forth, any addition of a \qquad also adds a very subtle unwanted
space.
qquad is not that subtle: 2em
And since we're looking here, I pressume, solely for accuracy and
perfection, we're left here with neither: zero, zip. It evaporates.
