wants to allow to protrude, and since there's probably a lot of
For those experimenting with this: I have just updated the microtype branch
again, to v0.9997.0.
The keywords used to specify \lpcode and \rpcode values for native-font glyphs
have been changed to be more concise, and also more similar to forms used in
other contexts. Unicode character codes ar

Possibly I don't understand it, but my impression is that font expansion
becomes another parameter to vary in the paragraph layout routine. I
can't see how it can be otherwise given that applying font expansion can
change the line breaks in a paragraph. I can see how that optimization
routine has b

Jonathan,
This is great news--thank you! There is also an OpenType feature called
Optical Bounds that is designed to do exactly this. My understanding is
that very few, if any, page layout programs support this feature. Maybe
XeTeX should be cutting-edge in this regard also? FontForge does
Many thanks to you and Han The Thanh.
Now that that has sunk in ;-) can I ask about the other feature of
PDFTeX, namely the ability to improve line breaking by (to my eye)
undetectable changes in the font size for a paragraph? Is there any plan
to port this to XeTeX?
