Re: [Inkscape-devel] Discoverablity of kerned text

The problem is actually not with kerned text as such but with absolute kerning ("x" attribute on tspans). Inkscape apparently is not smart enough to update the glyph positions on such text. I think it should be possible, for example by converting the absolute kerning to relative on the first edit. If relative-kerned text can be translated into positions of glyphs for rendering, then the reverse transformation (from positions of glyphs to relative offsets) should also be possible.
