I've attached an example where I've hand-tuned the margin kerning for
Sabon. Note this is just my subjective evaluation; I adjust the
parameters from time to time and the script is always "in progress".

If anyone wants to see the resulting pdf, just mail me. It's only 29k
but I didn't want to clog the list further.

Very important: note the [hanging] typescript at the bottom of
type-sabon.tex. It won't work without that.

This is also described in the "margin kerning" section at:
