Description
Your idea
The negative space on the sides of hyphens is often uneven; it would look better if it was always even.
Problem to be solved
When putting hyphens between words in lyrics that are very close together, the hyphen often seems too far to the right. In the example below, the hyphen in the middle of "spa-cing" looks especially bad.
This becomes a bigger eyesore the more you zoom out, and especially when printed out on paper. It would be nice if the negative space would be equal on both sides of the hyphens at all times.
