Hi Joram,

Thanks for the helpful response!

Very nice — thanks for doing that.

Excellent.

I would like to implement kerning, if possible.
Otherwise, I felt like I had found good basic sizes, relations, and spacing — 
glad to hear you agree!

ERROR!  =)
Thanks for catching that; I will fix it immediately.

Once a complete B&R example is done, I will be seeing how many of the elements 
can be parameterized. Certainly, the minor indicator would be one (and one of 
the easier ones, at that). Stay tuned.

My pleasure. Thanks for the feedback.

Best,
Kieren.
