Looking a bit more, the problem is not protrusion but the bounding box. Look at the left side of the italic T and W, and to a lesser degree C, O, and Q, produced by the following.

This may be an issue for the font maintainer, but is there anything that could be done within context?
you can make a font goodie file where you patch properties of a specific glyph but then you also need to keep an eye on when the font gets fixed
Hans
Can anyone provide a pointer to a goodie file where glyph boundaries are manipulated? I could not find anything relevant in the wiki, docs, or source.

Following up on my own post: 1. The problem was submitted to the developer's github issue list and acknowledged as an issue to be dealt with at some future time (https://github.com/alerque/libertinus/issues/561). The most problematic letters are seen as O, Q, T, and W (both italic and bold italic) and N (in bold italic). 2. I still would like to see how to construct a goodies file to fix this until that future time that the font is updated. -- Rik
