Phil, David,
many thanks for your help. Phil, you say thay the KERNING hint is not there by default because: 1) changes the overall text length
I mean that you obviously can't expect text to be the
same length with this option on, and so you need to
make sure any code that is fussy about the length
measures the font in the presence of the attribute.

2) requires extra processing steps at rendering time.

Yes, I mean that text that is rendered with kerning will be much
slower to render. This is unlikely to be an issue in practice
unless you are doing massive and continual updates, but its
a fact that if you ask for more work to be done, it takes longer.


-phil.

Do you mean that I may also encounter performance or compatibility issues ? Mik
