How to set-up LuaTeX, Microtype, with Minion Pro, Myriad Pro

Question

Since recently I am using LuaLaTeX with the most recent beta version of Microtype, along with the fonts Minion Pro and Myriad Pro. In the manual of Microtype it says:

    Currently, this package provides protrusion settings for [...] Adobe Garamond and Minion, [...] as well as some generic settings for unknown fonts
(cf. table 3 on page 21)

Currently, I just include the fonts like this (with some other font definitions for headings etc. settings left out here):

\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX, Scale=MatchLowercase}

\setmainfont[SmallCapsFeatures={LetterSpace=6}, Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont[LetterSpace=3, Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}]{Myriad Pro}

But this way I still get the following message from Microtype:

Package microtype Warning: Loading generic settings for font family `MinionPro'

How can I load the correct settings? Also, is there a way to avoid all these warnings I get for fonts that are not supported, and Microtype just loads the generic settings?

Answer 1

With the current microtype from TeXlive 2011, you can do the following:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec,microtype}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX, Scale=MatchLowercase}


\setmainfont[SmallCapsFeatures={LetterSpace=6}, Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont[LetterSpace=3, Numbers={Proportional,OldStyle}]{Myriad Pro}


\SetProtrusion
   [ name     = min-eu2 ]
   { encoding = {EU2},
     family   = MinionPro  }
   {
     {,} = {  ,500},
      -  = {  ,500}
   }


\begin{document}
  \hsize 3in

When, while the lovely valley teems with vapour around me, and the meridian sun strikes the upper surface of the impenetrable
foliage of my trees, and but a few stray gleams steal into the inner sanctuary, I throw myself down among the tall grass by the
trickling stream; and, as I lie close to the earth, a thousand unknown plants are noticed by me.

\end{document}

LuaTeX with fontspec uses EU2 encoding internally, so all you need to do is the regular microtype setup with encoding EU2.

Hm, I also use Minion Pro and Myriad Pro … this way:

\documentclass[12pt]{scrbook}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\pdfprotrudechars=2
\pdfadjustspacing=2
\usepackage{fontspec}
\defaultfontfeatures{Ligatures=TeX}
\newfontfeature{Microtype}{protrusion=default;expansion=default;}
\setmainfont[Microtype,Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle]{Minion Pro}
\setsansfont[Microtype,Scale=MatchLowercase,Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle]{Myriad Pro}
\begin{document}
\blindtext[5]
\end{document}

Than TeX Live 2010 and now 2011.

Answer 3

The user guide for version 2.5/beta08 of the microtype package states that the kerning, spacing, and tracking options are not (yet) functional if microtype is used with Lua(La)TeX. It may well be the case that other capabilities -- such as the ability to load specialized configurations via .cfg files -- aren't fully functional either when used with Lua(La)TeX.

At any rate, what you're getting is not an error message but "just" a warning message. You may wish to send the author of the microtype package a message to inquire if and when an updated version of the file mt-MinionPro.cfg might become available; the file that currently comes with the package has a file date of 2005/02/07.
