Summary0003661: Kerning works only for Postscript Type 1 Fonts
DescriptionAll OpenType- and Truetype-Fonts are not spaced correctly.
If you scale the following text: "VeWeYe", then you will
notice that no kerning information is used to determine the
distance between Ve,We and Ye for example. This renders
most Windows Fonts unusable e.g. Times New Roman which are
all TrueType or OpenType based.
Steps To ReproduceEnter e.g. "VeWeYe". Select 60pt size. Select "Times New Roman". Check distance between "V" and "e" for example. The "e" should be close to the "V". (Kerning) But it is not.
Additional InformationOlder 1.2 version under lateste KUbuntu works fine.
TagsNo tags attached.

This is an ugly workaround. I'll look into it when I test FT 2.2 and when I rewrite scfonts.

Maybe this could be added to 1.3.3.1
