Settings for various fonts are provided. + +*Note that character protrusion requires pdfTeX (version 0.14f or later), +LuaTeX, or XeTeX (at least version 0.9997). Font expansion works with pdfTeX +(version 1.20 for automatic expansion) or LuaTeX. The package will by default +enable protrusion and expansion if they can safely be assumed to work. +Disabling ligatures requires pdfTeX (at least version 1.30) or LuaTeX, while +the adjustment of interword spacing and of kerning only works with pdfTeX +(at least 1.40). Letterspacing is available with pdfTeX (1.40) or LuaTeX (0.62).* + +The alternative package `letterspace`, which also works with plain TeX, +provides the user commands for letterspacing only, omitting support for all +other extensions. + +The documentation can be found in `microtype.pdf`. + + +Installation +------------ + +To install the package, use one of the following methods +(in decreasing order of simplicity): + +- Use the package manager of your TeX system + (TeXLive: `tlmgr install microtype`; + MiKTeX: MiKTeX Package Manager). + +- Download `microtype.tds.zip` from CTAN, + extract it in the root of one of your TDS trees, + and update the filename database. + +- Get the source (`microtype.zip`) from CTAN and extract it, + run `latex` on `microtype.ins` to generate the package and configuration files, + and move all generated files into a directory where LaTeX will find them, + e.g., `TEXMF/tex/latex/microtype/`. + + +License +------- + +This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the +LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3c of this license or (at +your option) any later version.
