Hi Carl,

But if you look at "people" (for example), you’ll see there’s a space (but
no hyphen) there.
I’m trying to generate "perfect" words.
Right. It appears to me that there are two things going on. One when there is
no space for a hyphen, but there is space for the syllable. And another where
there is no space for the syllable (and hence not for the hyphen either). I
only get perfect words when the syllable space exceeds the note space. By
increasing the font size, people becomes a "perfect" word.
