Having a way to manually tweak kerning is indeed very useful feature, it doesn't always need to relate to badly designed fonts. Personally I would find it a lot more useful in a vector editor, since that's what I would be using for logo design, an area where I see this feature essential. Aewyn, I recommend you open a feature request on this, although convincing Sven of its usefulness is probably a well spent time, because text tool is mostly his effort. cheers -- Jakub Steiner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
