The microtype package

THE TITLE LOGO 212\tempdim\fboxrulei\fboxruleii\kernboxheight\scaletoem\showlogoA The title logo8736 Here’s how the logo on the title page was created. 30 It has nothing to do with microtype, actually, but uses fontinst.It is based on an experiment I posted to the de.comp.text.tex newsgroup. 31 It will show:• the character• the TEX box• the bounding box• kernsA.1 MacrosTo run this file, TEX needs to find the afm file (either in the TEXINPUTS path, or in the current working directory).First input fontinst.8737 \input fontinst.stybbox.sty is an addition to fontinst, which makes dimensions of the bounding boxes available (and was writtenby Hàn Thê´ Thành, by the way). These dimensions are specified in the afm file, but not used by TEX, which is whyfontinst will discard them otherwise.8738 \input bbox.styAllocate some dimen registers.8739 \newdimen\tempdimFrame width of the box as TEX sees it.8740 \newdimen\fboxrulei8741 \fboxrulei=0.1ptFrame width of the bounding box.8742 \newdimen\fboxruleii8743 \fboxruleii=0.1ptHeight of the box indicating the kern.8744 \newdimen\kernboxheight8745 \kernboxheight=5ptAn auxiliary macro. Return a dimension relative to the em-width of the font. Requires e-TEX.8746 \setcommand\scaletoem#1{\dimexpr #1 sp*\fontdimen6\font/1000\relax}A fontinst incantation whose sole purpose is to produce the logo. Its argument is a string (letters only).8747 \fontinstcc8748 \def\showlogo#1{%Some fonts do not specify the \fontdimen 6 (width of an em) in the afm file.
