[OS X TeX] Issues with XeLaTeX and LuaLatex

[Ettore Aldrovandi]

For the record, with the following MWE (I’m on TeXLive 2019)

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Optima}
\usepackage[protrusion=true]{microtype}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}

I get the warnings with both xelatex and lualatex. You may want to have a look at the following discussion:

https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/380812/microtype-warning-unknown-slot-number-of-character-with-lato-font/380897#380897 <https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/380812/microtype-warning-unknown-slot-number-of-character-with-lato-font/380897#380897>

pointing to the character inheritance. It’s Optima: changing Optima to, say, Baskerville makes the warnings go away.

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.
