I'm with the majority. Layout and rendering are different kreatures. Auto-kerning is, however, a totally different story. Freetype should be able to provide some shape descriptors to help fitting the neighboring glyphs. For example, some sort of top, middle, and bottom protrusion to the right and to the left of center. Undeniably, Freetype is supposed to know the shape best. Why did Tetris just come to my mind? _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
