- lettrine.sty (I have my own TeX code now, but lettrine is probably better)
your own code should not be a problem as long as you don;t overload low level commands
Most of the lettrine basics are exposed in the DroppedCaps macros in supp-fun, and in some higher-level macros {setupinitial,placeinitial,checkinitial} in core-fnt. I only noticed the latter recently, with this message: http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20050219.150656.64318a18.html
- microtype.sty (protrusion,probably no stretching)
no problem, (adam lindsay can probably best help you with that in relation to the fonts that you have on th emac)
Who, me? As you probably know, protrusion doesn't work with XeTeX, only pdf(e)TeX. Glad you don't need stretching, cos I haven't worked with that one, yet! But yeah, I know a few Mac OS X/ConTeXt font tricks. - =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
