Also as a designer, I would rather have undistorted letterforms even if 
this means a nominally condensed face is not in fact narrower than the 
non-condensed version, because distorted letterforms not only look ugly 
but may introduce serious legibility problems, especially in low 
resolution rendering environments. If I don't have condensed letters 
that have been designed and hinted as such, I would rather not have 
condensed letters.

Can we accommodate both kinds of designers?
