Alan Quatermain: now with 100% more Hyphenation.
The implementation comes from Mathias Nater, and has a project on Google Code.
Additionally, I’ve enabled the lovely text-rendering: optimizeLegibility; CSS attribute (hat tip to John Gruber). This enables fancier text rendering using proper kerning and ligatures. Look for instance at the ‘ffi’ in traffic and the first two letters of the word forward: the former uses a ligature (a single glyph representing two adjacent characters) for the ‘fi’, and the latter brings the letter ‘o’ under the arch of the letter ‘f’ by using optimized kerning (the spacing between glyphs).
Unfortunately, as I’ve discovered while writing this post, the Gentium Alt Regular font used for post copy in this theme (I use a very slightly modified version of Wordographic) doesn’t appear to support ligatures, even in italics. Nor does the secondary Georgia font, apparently. Le sigh. Can’t have everything I suppose.
