I personally do not mind, but you seem to make point of not having hanging single letters at the end of the line, widows, orphans ...
Yes, right-o. We are still working on the template and the GREP replacements -- hence I refer to this sample as a "draft." There are other issues, too, that are yet to be resolved. My purpose in the post was to simply bring up the issue and to see what others had to say.

We'll try the non-serif font. Not my favorite choice, but you might be right for basic text.

See my comments above about end-of-page widows.

Question: As to paragraph spacing, would you rather see a first-line indent without a space between paragraphs (as it is now), or a flush-left and 1-line space between paragraphs? We could also turn off the base line rules and do a 110% space between paragraphs as you suggest. Preferences?
