justification issue in Item Format and CSS jobs

Chris Leggett

Can anyone suggest a reason why hyphenation and justification should be different in a CSS job as opposed to the same job formatted with Item Formats - the job is being composed on the same system and the CSS job is a copy of the Item Format job, which includes all the same "local" spec files including the pt and hj. The same fonts etc are all using the same Libraries etc.

The only changes in the job specs are a CSS file, a Perl file, a slightly revised pl spec (only to do with frills) and a PERL transform. Using the status window (set to line and points) all indents etc are identical. It probably only occurs in half a dozen paragraphs and is always slightly tighter in the CSS (resulting in the occasional lost line). They are in the same CLS - just in different GRPs.

Any ideas?

    Sharon is working the ticket, but I noticed that at least one difference is that, in the non-CSS version of the job there are several places in the item formats where kern pairs are set to "no", i.e. auto-kerning is disabled. 

    In the CSS version, auto-kerning is enabled by default, but there is nowhere in the CSS file where the -xpp-pair-kerning is set to no.

    To exactly match the CSS and non-CSS versions, you will need to add a CSS rule which sets -xpp-pair-kerning for all the cases where kern pairs are set to "no" in the item formats file of the non-CSS version.
