First, I don't see how any feature that affects the height of the
lines could be useful for horizontal character-spacing, in general.

Second, I already implemented 1 and 3, and you rejected the results as
unsatisfactory, so this is off the table.

As for easier customization of fontsets: patches are welcome, of
course.  But again, I'm not sure it will fix the problem discussed
here, since no one has yet come up with a list of fonts where the
problems that bother you are resolved.
