The `microtype' package provides a LaTeX interface to pdfTeX's
micro-typographic extensions: character protrusion and font expansion.
NEW:
=====
* new font sets: `allmath' and `basicmath' enabling
character protrusion in math mode
* protrusion factors for Computer Modern Roman
math symbols
* more protrusion factors for Adobe Garamond and
Computer Modern Roman in TS1 encoding
CHANGES:
=========
* if an alias font name is specified, it will be used
as an alternative, not as a replacement
* more tests for sanity of settings and whether all
fonts will be set up
* more robust parsing of sizes in font sets
* more bug fixes
