I hate to pick up on this again, but...
The basic Palatino, together with protrusion and small caps is causing issues.
Essentially horizontal placing of the characters fails (see previous PDF).
In the example below, I can reliably cause the effect by commenting out (or
not) the line with the \sc.
This effect shows up the my "real" files. While trying to find the trigger by
culling down the files, for a moment I could reliably (!) turn the effect on
and off with the line %\setupfootertexts[chapter][pagenumber] and not changing
the \sc lines. Weird side effect? Sorry, I can't reproduce that one anymore.
One way to reduce, but not prevent the effect, is if more plain text is output
before using \sc. eg by adding an \input tufte beforehand. But once the text
after the \sc is a bit longer ie. 10x tufte the effect will show again. Gut
feeling: successive and cumulative rounding errors.
Question: Am I tripping over "side effects"? Is using SmallCaps a bad idea when
using protrusion? It just feels odd that something like this would be so
uncontrollable. Particularly since the palatino font is from the TexGyre set
(so close to home)
Thanks for thoughts! Martin
