Hi, I was just wondering what would be necessary to get microtype into the core of XeTeX?
After looking at the wiki (http://xetex.tk/mediawiki/index.php/Microtype_package_(preliminary_version)), there is a preliminary version. Also, it looks like I would have to write the cfg file for each font that I would like to use with it. Thanks, Chris On 30/08/11 01:57, George N.
