[Ming-dev] kerning with Ming

[strk <st...@ke...>]

Nick, I have your patch ready for commit, but do you also
see a problem with using GlyphAdvance in the Text rather
than actual Kerning in the FONT block ?

I have to admit I don't know anything about the .fdb format
so maybe I'm missing something, but if that's a font, and
contains kerning info, shouldn't we just put that in font
rather than Text ?

I'm thinking, in particular, about the problem arising when
one is only willing to build a shared font system, that is
a movie exporting a font. For example, we'll likely need to
use something like that for testing the client side (Gnash).
If kernings don't get in the font they won't be used by
external SWF loading it.
