You do not need Palatino to use hanging puntuation. Hanging punctuation can be used with any font. The wiki has instructions on how to use hanging punctuation with other fonts. > Is it possible to use this feature with XeTeX?

Since LuaTeX is supposed to pdftex2, I am sure that it will support all the features of pdftex, so hanging punctuation will be supported. Aditya
