Comment 1 for bug 671228

In times gone by, the similiarity of "[]" to a box has actually been exploited to advantage!

Luke: how would you prefer to see it rendered? The three options are probably:

  a. to change the spacing of those two glyph entries font-wide
  b. to kern just the case of [ immediately followed by ] to add a bit of space
  c. to leave as is

The sequence of [] does come up in programming code, and so in the Ubuntu Monospace version will be much more visually separated.
