[XeTeX] XeTeX and microtype-package…

[jezZiFeR]

Dear Pete,

thank you. The reason why I want to use micro-typography is because I  
want to have the margins aligned. I especially don´t like the hyphens  
inside of the text. You mentioned the »opbd table« which would allow  
optical alignment – is it the optical alignment of the outer margin,  
which is meant? What is »opbd table«, and how could I use it?

Thanks again, best
Jess
