The `microtype' package
An interface to the micro-typographic extensions of pdfTeX
===================================
v2.3b 2008/06/04
* 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.
The alternative package `letterspace', which also works with `eplain' or even
`miniltx', provides the user commands for letter-spacing only, omitting
support for all other extensions.
The documentation can be found in microtype.pdf.
* 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
