Next tackle the o. Place two copies between two pairs of correctly spaced
ns ( nonon ). Also test another combination ( nnoonn ). When the spacing
looks even, subtract the space belonging to the n; the remainder is the correct
spacing for the o. The rest of the letters can now be spaced relative to the n
and the o.
For spacing uppercase serifs, use the H and O as a basis and follow the same
logic as above.
(Note that the space between any letters should never be greater than the
space inside the lowercase n or the capital H).
