Dear All,
according to http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/latex/microtype/microtype.pdf
pdfTeX offers fine tuning of:
(1) Character protrusion
(2) Font expansion
(3) Tracking
(4) Additional kerning
(5) Interword spacing
AFAIK ConTeXt covers 1+2+(3?). In recent discussion Hans mentioned
experimental 'space kerning'. Is it anything related to above features (4)?
Are there any plans to cover the rest?
1 - protrusion is supported
2 - expansion is supported
both with variants and granularity
3 - i have no clue what tracking is
4 - neither what additional kerning is (unless you mean (usually ugly)
extra inter character kerning, which is supported)
5 - it being a rather core tex feature, normal interword spacing is
supported
the mentioned space kerning refers to kerning between characters and
spaces defined in the font itself
Hans
