+The `microtype` package
+=======================
+
+**Subliminal refinements towards typographical perfection**
+
+ (v2.7b -- 2019/02/28)
+
+
+Overview
+--------
+
+The `microtype` package provides a LaTeX interface to the micro-typographic
+extensions that were introduced by pdfTeX and have since also propagated to
+LuaTeX and XeTeX: most prominently, character protrusion and font expansion,
+furthermore the adjustment of interword spacing and additional kerning, as
+well as hyphenatable letterspacing (tracking) and the possibility to disable
+all or selected ligatures.
+
+These features may be applied to customisable sets of fonts, and all
+micro-typographic aspects of the fonts can be configured in a straight-forward
+and flexible way. 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/`.
