1 - protrusion is supported
2 - expansion is supported
both with variants and granularity
3 - i have no clue what tracking is
4 - neither what additional kerning is (unless you mean (usually ugly)
extra inter character kerning, which is supported)
5 - it being a rather core tex feature, normal interword spacing is
supported
the mentioned space kerning refers to kerning between characters and
spaces defined in the font itself
