Follow-up Comment #2, bug #57448 (project groff):
How it kerns characters elsewhere on the line should have no effect on whether
it is willing to break a line at a hard hyphen. If it does, this is a bug.
groff will not break the line at a hyphen after these particular letter
combinations. You can verify this by varying the line length from 1 to 1.99
inches, a hundredth of an inch at a time, to see the various places groff
breaks the line:
seq -w 0 99 | xargs -I FRACTION printf '.br\n.ll 1.FRACTIONi\nOne has the
DW-style switch.\n' | groff -a | fgrep One | uniq
(The above is all one line, though this bug tracker will probably break it.)
