[ft] question on FT number formats

[Johannes Walther]

Hello all,

I don't understand what 16.16 and 26.6 formats are
that FT uses or furthermore how users of FT are
affected by that.

I guess a problem I have getting kerning from Type1
fonts lies in the numbers format.

Loading a Type1 font and attaching an afm file works
as it should. But attaching a pfm file produces huge
kerning distances of 372672 or 372480 instead ones
like -192 or -320.

That's for all Type1 fonts I have tried from various
sources, so I guess there's some error on my side.
Have you an idea what?

Johannes
