Malyshev's t2 fonts

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hello,

It seems that Maksym Polyakov found a bug in definition of glyph
`hyphenchar' (used in T1 encoding).

He wrote:

The definition of hyphenchar in latin.mtx (and latinsc.mtx) is:

\setglyph{hyphenchar}
   \glyph{hyphen}{1000}
\endsetglyph

Which should probably be changed to:

\setglyph{hyphenchar}
   \glyph{hyphen}{1000}
   \resetwidth{\div{\width{hyphen}}{2}}
\endsetglyph

What do you think? In EC fonts, the width of hyphenchar (slot #127) is
exactly half the width of hyphen (slot #45); and the glyph looks the
same. Hyphenation of texts written with EC fonts when one sets
\hyphenchar\font=127 is "half-hanging", as compared to the (default)
case when \hyphenchar\font=45. IMHO, fontinst's definition should
follow this rule.

BTW, is it okay that latin.mtx (and latinsc.mtx) contains the line

\setleftkerning{hyphenchar}{hyphen}{1000}

BEFORE the definition of the `hyphenchar' glyph?

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
