Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
The `microtype' package provides a LaTeX interface to pdfTeX's 
micro-typographic extensions: character protrusion and font expansion.

It allows to restrict character protrusion and/or font expansion to a 
certain set of fonts, and to configure 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 only works with the pdfTeX 
compiler, at least version 0.14f, resp. version 1.20a, for automatic font 
expansion.
