Seems one can get rid of this initial thing by \noindent, e. g. in the
following example the W is protruded into the left margin. Don't know
how to do this directly through pdfcprot.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[activate]{pdfcprot}
\begin{document}
\lpcode\font`\W=200 % silly example
\noindent
\input tufte % We thrive in information...
\end{document}
