comment Visual comparison between LaTeX and Word output (hyphenation, typesetting, ligatures etc)
However effective, this doesn't look like the result of a fair comparison to me – the pdftex sample has most certainly been hand-tweaked with \emergencystretch, probably also adjusted \fontdimens, maybe even some negative spacing (look at the line beginning with "warehouses"); I am fairly sure that the Indesign sample could be optimised in the same way (esp. considering that Indesign's paragraph builder is based on that of TeX).

comment How do I enable protrusion for footnotes with \fnsymbol using microtype?
Great answer, I would only suggest not to scale down the protrusion settings for T1 and OT1, since the settings are size-specific anyway; also, loading the complete settings isn't necessary either, as they will never be used in the footnote context.

comment Which ligatures do the fonts used in my document offer?
I am really amazed that you can disable three-character ligatures this way – I would have thought that they would only be disabled if the first two characters were themselves input as \char'33. Great to know! BTW, microtype also understands octal, decimal and hex numbers, so you can simply say \DisableLigatures['33]{encoding=T1}, omitting the catcode trickery.

@LoverofStructure You can translate tfm files to human-readable format (pl: "property list") with tftopl.
