There are just these warnings from microtype. Remove \usepackage[protrusion=true]{microtype} and the warnings disappear. The warnings seem to be spurious. The document is typeset OK.

Howdy,

Are you using the macros for accented characters or simply typing them into your document. I may be that microtype is complaining that the composed characters aren't there (but the actual character is there so shows up in your document).

Sigh... I didn't see Optima in Font Book because my Personal Fonts were selected rather than All Fonts. Font Book and my sample don't show Small Caps as being available.

I rarely use lualatex. You might try to remove ~/texlive/2019/texmf-var/luatex-cache and rerun. It will take a while to re-build the cache the first time there is a compile. I have a test file that shows those variations correctly when compiled with lualatex.

Good Luck,

Herb Schulz
