Erik is the lead for the Interface Kit team. This is his call. He says
in as plain English as you can use "There will not be font-sensitive
layout in R1".
This is the very reason we have team leads. Someone has to make the
final decision. And for every decision made, there will likely be some
who feel we should have gone the other way. That's life. Erik has
carefully thought this over and made his decision. Please respect it,
regardless of whether you agree with it or not.
May we drop this topic now?
