1 The package provides a LaTeX interface to pdfTeX's micro-typographic
2 extensions: character protrusion and font expansion. The package allows
3 you to restrict character protrusion and/or font expansion to a certain
4 set of fonts, or to certain parts of the document (for example, based on
5 selected language), and to configure micro-typographic aspects of the
6 fonts in a straight-forward and flexible way. Settings for various fonts
7 are provided. The bundle also provides a letterspace package; this
8 improves on the alternatives (letterspacing and soul), and also provides
9 a means of protecting ligatures--notably those in fraktur fonts.
