Howdy,

I just ran a file through xelatex that comes with MacTeX-2011 with all updates with and without the microtype package (2.5beta6) and I definitely saw a change in the paragraph layout, including protrusion but don't know about font expansion. What are you changing to make xelatex `more' compatible with the microtype package. Just interested.

Good Luck,
