Fortunately, TeX can do a number of those things automatically,
since it has `one-character macros'.  See Appendix D of *The TeXbook*
for an example of hanging punctuation.  One-character macros can
be used to make punctuation come out in a different size or font.

Making footnotes that span pages break only within lines (or worse
yet, only within phrases) is more difficult; I do not see any way
to do it in TeX or in troff.  I would suggest instead simply forcing
all footnotes to be on one page always.  Chances are this will fail
for long footnotes, however.  Human typesetters probably also have
trouble setting such footnotes.

The kerning information that you would like to use for optical
alignment is not available outside the paragraph builder.  You
might be able to fake something with special fonts, but that seems
rather excessive.
