[XeTeX] Character protrusion in XeTeX/XeLaTeX?

[Marc Gumpinger]

Thank you very much for your response.

How do I make characters active and adjust their positioning against  
the margins?

Do I understand you correctly, that XeLaTeX does not offer any  
dedicated character protrusion?
If this is the case I'm kind of astonished since it is dedicated to  
easily use any font but does not provide such typographic tool?


Regards
Marc
