Agree.

Let's hope the font nerds deep in the bowels of Apple will do the right thing and tune it over time.
("Doing the right thing in the bowels" reminds me of a story an old friend of mine told me years back. He was an Apple fellow by that point, one of a handful, able to work on whatever he wanted. (He was in the printing group, since he came out of Imagen, the TeX project laser printer spin-off, where we both worked.) Anyway, at some point Jobs went off on a rave at a meeting and declared that fax was dead, and they should no longer support faxing in their printer drivers. Chen and crew had no choice but to fold in public, but kept it in anyway, and Job was never the wiser.)
