If a real test suite is needed, I can prepare a special copy of one of
TeX Gyre fonts for this purpose.
I went ahead and patched texgyre pagella to implement lfbd/rtbd features
(based on palatino protrusion values from microtype package), attached
the font file and the "dirty" python script used to build it.
to get full protrusion i need to multiply by two so i think that it
makes most sense to use full protrusion for punctuation and hyphens
and if less is wanted use a factor of 0.5
But most of the time full protrusion isn't needed, right? I think full
protrusion (assuming this is hanging punctuation) can be done in a
generic way; protruding the glyph so that all of its bounding box is in
the margin, and using font stored protrusion values for regular setting.
actually, i only use full protrusion (punctuation and hyphens)
subtle protruding (as subtle hz) mostly goes unnoticed as experiments at
user group meetings long ago have proven
