Re: [Texmacs-dev] Kerning Bug

[Miguel de Benito Delgado]

Hi,

 I don't really understand what kerning is about, so I cannot give you an answer. Have you tried (compiled) your idea? Does it have weird side-effects? If everything looks fine we could do some more testing and think about adding it to the code. Maybe Joris has something to say here?
