The `microtype' package An interface to the micro-typographic extensions of pdfTeX ================================= v1.9f 2006/09/09 * Overview ---------- The `microtype' package provides an interface to the micro-typographic extensions of pdfTeX: most prominently, character protrusion and font expansion, furthermore the possibility to disable all ligatures of a font. It allows to apply these features to customizable sets of fonts, and to configure all 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 will only work with pdfTeX, at least version 0.14f. Automatic font expansion requires version 1.20a or newer. The package will by default enable the features that can safely be assumed to work. The documentation can be found in microtype.pdf resp. microtype.dvi. A preview of the next version is also included, which supports the new experimental extensions of pdfTeX: adjustment of interword spacing (glue) and the possibility to specify additional character kerning. * Installation -------------- - Run latex on microtype.ins to generate the package and configuration files - Move all files into a directory where LaTeX will find them, e.g. TEXMF/tex/latex/microtype - Run (pdf)latex twice on microtype.dtx to create the documentation - For an index run: makeindex -s gind.ist -o microtype.ind microtype.idx - For the change history run: makeindex -s gglo.ist -o microtype.gls microtype.glo * 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.
