Although, LuaTex is the only TeX engine to offer character protrusion with
system fonts. PdfTex requires cumbersome typeface-by-typeface setups and
XeTeX has troubles working with the microtype package.
At least this was the situation until a couple of years ago when I switched
to LuaTeX.

Perhaps things have changed now? I remember XeTeX was slowly catching up on
the microtype features it supported, but I haven't really followed its
evolution closely.


Cheers,

Stefano
