Dear Philip, I found Corresponding ones in pdfTeX in the pdfTeX manual:
\pdfprotrudechars (integer) Yet another way of optimizing paragraph breaking is to let certain characters move into the margin (‘character protrusion’). When \pdfprotrudechars=1, the glyphs qualified as such will make this move when applicable, without changing the line-breaking. When \pdfprotrudechars=2 (or greater), character protrusion will be taken into account while considering breakpoints, so line-breaking might be changed. This qualification and the amount of shift are set by the primitives \rpcode and \lpcode. Character protrusion is disabled when \pdfprotrudechars=0 (or negative). If you want to protrude some item other than a character (e.g. a \hbox), you can do so by padding the item with an invisible zero--width character, for which protrusion is activated. \rpcode <font> <8-bit number> (integer) The amount that a character from a given font may shift into the right margin (‘character protrusion’) is set by the primitive \rpcode. The protrusion distance is the integer value given to \rpcode, multiplied with 0.001em from the current font. The given integer value is clipped to the range -1000..1000, corresponding to a usable protrusion range of -1 em..1 em. Example: \rpcode\somefont`,=200 \rpcode\somefont`-=150 Here the comma may shift by 0.2 em into the margin and the hyphen by 0.15 em. All these small bits and pieces will help pdfTEX to give you better paragraphs (use \rpcode judiciously; don’t overdo it). Remark: old versions of pdfTEX use the character width as measure. This was changed to a proportion of the em-width after Han The´ Thanh finished his master’s thesis. \lpcode <font> <8-bit number> (integer) This is similar to \rpcode, but affects the amount by which characters may protrude into the left margin. Also here the given integer value is clipped to the range -1000..1000.
