The `microtype' package
- An interface to the micro-typographic extensions of pdfTeX
+ Subliminal refinements towards typographical perfection
===================================
- v2.4 2010/01/10
+ v2.5 2013/03/13
* Overview
----------
-The `microtype' package provides a LaTeX interface to the micro-typographic
-extensions of pdfTeX: 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.
-It allows to apply these features to customisable sets of fonts, and to
-configure all micro-typographic aspects of the fonts in a straightforward and
-flexible way. Settings for various fonts are provided.
-
-Note that font expansion and character protrusion will only work with pdfTeX,
-at least version 0.14f. Automatic font expansion requires version 1.20 or
-newer. Disabling ligatures requires pdfTeX 1.30, letterspacing and the
-adjustment of interword spacing and of kerning requires version 1.40. The
-package will by default enable protrusion and expansion if they can safely be
-assumed to work. These two features are also available with luaTeX. The
-`microtype' package does not work with XeTeX.
-
