Drawing Quality

As good as it's gonna get. Every glyph ultimately inherits from a single component.

Tracking & Kerning

Very good.
Users can aslo easily apply additional kerning in increments of +−100 to 
achieve grid-perfect layouts.

Grid-Perfect Leading

Divide Adobe's auto leading in half for one dot size between lines or refer 
to the leading formula and table below for more specific adjustment.
Leading Formula:
x = font size
y = desired number of dot spaces between lines
leading = x ÷ 10 × (y + 5)

Font Size	Leading (0 dots)	Leading (1 dot)	Leading (2 dots)	Leading (3 dots)	Leading (4 dots)
12pt	6pt	7.2pt	8.4pt	9.6pt	10.8pt
14pt	7pt	8.4pt	9.8pt	11.2pt	12.6pt
