Hi Rembrandt!

Does Garamond Premier Pro have the opbd feature? When I processed 
opentype-info.tex, it doesn't show it. Although, when I try what you 
suggest on a sample file, the log file shows:

Does that mean it's working?


Also, when trying to use the microtype package with XeLaTeX, the log 
file says:

It sounds like something very useful ... but will it work?
