Luca, Are you sure here? We had two versions of addALetterSpaceTo() -- the version in ILLM which takes a List (I didn't touch that one), and a old (?) version from AbstractLayoutManager that takes a KnuthElement. It is that latter version that I removed--it wasn't being called anywhere--not the former.
