comment Using ConTeXts cow font with pdfTeX
that's right, there's no fd files in that package either. I don't think I'll become a passionate cowfont user, but I'm sure some people will appreciate your .sty and .fd files...

comment Using ConTeXts cow font with pdfTeX
could you be more precise about the engine you want to use the fonts with? Your tags have ›context‹; the question you're referring to pertains to ›pdflatex‹; and your title has ›latex‹. I'm assuming it's good old pdflatex, but in that case I'd re-tag the question.

yep... a manual solution isn't going to be a problem, and can even be done out of the box, without geometry or anything.

comment xelatex myriad pro l with apostrophe issue
in pdfTeX, things like this were possible. Let's hope the kerning feature will be back in microtype for Xe/LuaLaTeX someday.

for completeness's sake, it should be added that not everyone will agree with the idea that »everything looks just a little better« when microtype is used by people who don't know what they're doing. typografi.org/justering/oppfatninger/syn_english.html

comment More than one width of a glyph in LaTeX or LuaLatex
I'm afraid I'm having trouble understanding what exactly you're looking for. If it's OpenType glyph substitution, then I suggest you have a look at the fundamentals as described here, and, more generally (OpenType feature files), here. As for practical examples, there everywhere: behind every plain f_i ligature is an OpenType SUB rule: substitute f i by f_i;.

you mean an example of what microtype does? Here's one. As for examples of what you have in mind, IIRC there are none (in the wild) -- see Torbjørn Eng's famous essay.
