this is because typescripts are not put into tex's memory, but parsed each 
time, which means that they need to be stored in a loadable way, i.e. in a file

protruding should work, also for bold, but you need the latest pdftex [with 
the em-based method] and also must load the protruding as early as 
possible, since it is connected to the first instantiation of fonts. [nasty 
global/efficiency stuff in tex]; also, context disables protruding in 
controlled situations, like in page building
