Therefore, if you have checked that it fixes the problem, and does it for all font shapes, yours is better. > Also, even if the patch seems to work as it is, I don't really know if a > \relax could be needed after the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]": I know a bit about LaTeX > programming, but not yet raw TeX... Please check. No, David Kastrup explained why it isn't needed. He wrote, I'm translating: ,---- | All the internal numbers [in LaTeX] are either registers, mathchardefs, | or similar.
