Summary0001425: Manual kerning dialogue shows automatic FreeType kerning choices...
DescriptionHi, It would be nice that as Scribus (through FreeType, I imagine) performs automatic kerning of text, that it reflects the kerning amount in the subsequent manual kerning control dialog. For example, when one goes to kern a "W" and an "A", one can see that they've already been automatically kerned by 5 picas, and then adjust from there. This isn't a big deal, but I seem to recall that this is how it's implemented in commercial packages, and it seems to provide some nice guidance.

Thanks!
