Re: [ft] unhappy about recent "light" changes

[apodtele]

I think I know why I don't like the current spacing. I removed the
heuristic quarter-point and it improved in many places. See the
attached snapshots. It is not a universal improvement but, at least, I
think that that quarter-point needs more thought, and, maybe, should
be abandoned.

pros: "Popular", "U.S.", "More:", "Waits"
cons: "Video", "World"
