This is assuming that your font insets is the only structural approach.
Which is wrong. I do not see in what way font insets are any more
structural than what the main text does.

Face it, André, these font insets *suck* from a usability standpoint, no
ifs, no buts. They might be livable in mathed where text regions rarely
last longer than a letter or two, but it would be unbearable in normal
text
