round edges on fonts & lines

Hello, Mats and the rest of the Lilypond gang:

First of all, congratulations again on such a stunning engraving program -- I'm still marveling at how beautiful the untweaked output is!

Part of the beauty, without a doubt, is due to the feta font and the attention to detail in the rounding of all the sharp edges in the Postscript output. It emulates extremely well the warmth of hand-engraving and metal punch.

However, on close examination, I notice that the stem tips are sharp (i.e., unrounded); to my eye this breaks the consistency of the design and screams "computer". Was this a conscious decision, or out of necessity? If not, is there any plan to apply the same warming/rounding to the last remaining square edges (i.e., stem ends, beam tips, etc.) that has already been applied to the majority (e.g., tuplet bracket, tenuto mark, upbow ends, etc.)?

Best regards,
Kieren.
