Re: Horizontal spacing algorithm

[Simon Albrecht]

Hello Chad,

I am not aware that we currently have any developer working on or 
familiar enough with that area of the source code. Also, the assertion 
that implementing this would be simple is audacious to say the least: 
Even looking only at the examples given in that paper, it is by no means 
a given how much of that more proportional spacing is desirable (which 
the author even acknowledges himself). And in real life, there are very 
many other factors influencing spacing.

Best, Simon
