+The fonts used in @LaTeX{} output may not be scalable.  If fonts are not
+scalable, using microtypography could trigger an error when converting the
+@LaTeX{} output.  Therefore microtypography is not turned on in the default
+case in @LaTeX{} output.  It is possible to turn it on with @samp{@@microtype
+on}.  A way to get scalable fonts for the font used in the default @LaTeX{}
+output is to install the CM-Super font package

 The @code{@@microtype} command does nothing for other output formats.
