I understand it's a text font! And I agree that the horizontal spacing is correct for the body of the glyphs here; I wouldn't want to make them further apart, because the verticals are in exactly the right places.\r\n\r\nMy complaint is only that they almost touch at the top, and that seems clumsy to me. I'm specifically thinking about at text sizes; 12pt or so.\r\n\r\nI wasn't neccessarily proposing a solution here, just pointing out an aspect which seems to jar visually. In fact, I wonder, if I did try a ligature, perhaps it could cut away the serif of the l to give a little gap, rather than joining them? Then the f's blob would stay where it is."}}
