I would like to develop a tool for automatic kerning -- this should adjust the position of the letters in a text to correct the spacing irregularities, to ease the reading flow and to improve readability. This is also called optical kerning. To me, this is very helpful feature and I can imagine it could be of use for other open source software as well.
Extending optical kerning for text on a path might be an interesting challenge if optical kerning for normal text not a big enough SoC project. It could be useful even for fonts with kerning pairs.
