Hm, I found the extra kern space is actually making word shape recognition quite a bit harder in Cantarell. Also, there are some odd spacing issues, check out: * 'me' in 'Americans' (line 1) * 'ms' in 'museums' (line 2) * 'ed' in 'esteemed' (line 2) Looks like 'e', 'm', 'F', 'o' are kind of wonky that way. Gets a little worse at smaller point sizes. -- Paul W.
