Not sure I understand your explanation. I have been using UTF-8 as charset for my documents since 2002 (otherwise polytonic Greek was unreadable for me). It was also more readable to use real character for em- and en-dashes than three or two hyphens. It took me a while since I accidentally discovered a document with a wrong line break between a real em-dash and a point followed by a footnote number. So my question is what \hccode stands for? From luametatex.pdf in the distribution, I see that this is a LuaTeX primitive, but luatex.pdf doesn’t mention it. Many thanks for your help again, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
