The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: microtype Author's name: R Schlicht Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/microtype Summary description: An interface to the micro-typographic extensions of pdfTeX License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `microtype' package provides a LaTeX interface to pdfTeX's micro-typographic extensions: character protrusion and font expansion.
It allows to restrict character protrusion and/or font expansion to a certain set of fonts, and to configure micro-typographic aspects of the fonts in a straight-forward and flexible way.
Settings for various fonts are provided.
Note: Font expansion and character protrusion only works with the pdfTeX compiler, at least version 0.14f, resp. version 1.20a, for automatic font expansion. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
