Font kerning support

Hi

Am I right that UG does not support font kerning? The thing where an I is smaller then an O. Does every letter uses the same width?

Is there some pre-work since I'm very likely going to implement that.

Well, check my tools to convert TTF fonts to 8 bit anti alliased fonts. And different letters use different width - at least that is what I can see from converter output. But as I know full font kerning is not supported ( if you think of it as support for combinations like "AV" )

Thanks!
Are you referring to https://github.com/AriZuu/ttf2ugui?
I'll dive deeper and report more precise.

Yes, that is the case

I concerted a font and the font width was perfectly identical to the mockup done on the PC.
Thanks. Closing.
