Mark, Although i am not the original creator of this topic, I think this really is a very interesting article.
But there is a caveeat. The licensing of commercial fonts very often does not allow modification of the font. And if in the rare case the modification is allowed, then normally it is only allowed to use the modified font then for internal business or private use and a distribution or transfer is not allowed. Anyway, a very interesting article, which at least gives a clue how to resolve the layout out problem.
