Good afternoon List.

Could anyone elaborate on the following rule.
I have tried searching for an explanation, without success.

TVD_SPACE_RATIO_MINFP

The base __TVD_SPACE_RATIO calls an eval:

   eval:tvd_vertical_words('0','10')

It looks like it's checking for a text-to-space ratio that would indicate vertical-words obfuscation to avoid text matching.

The _MINFP variant was my adding some FP avoidance rules (different ones than in the TVD_SPACE_RATIO rule) to try to improve the performance of the base rule.

The _MINFP version is apparently performing better, and should probably replace the base TVD_SPACE_RATIO rule.
