Here's a question that may or may not require sight for an answer.
  For a number of years I have read a publication called "In These
Times,". For about 9 months however, when I open articles there is
something that causes the article to read poorly.

  I use NVDA, with the mostupdated version of Windows 10 and Firefox.
Sprinkled at intervals within words in the text the screen reader
finds something it calls a "soft hyphen" so, of course, it makes the
articles hard to read.  Does anyone know anything about what a "soft
hyphen" might be? And is this a quirk of style or font that causes
this issue.
  I'll paste a link to an article here and I'd love to hear what
others find when they open the article.  Thanks in advance for any
thoughts, impressions or info:
