    Ok, answer is quite simple.
    Current string rendering on athens does not support kerning.
    Because it is not cairo's job. Kerning should be took into account
    _after_ creating glyphs with cairo but _before_ extent measurement
    and obviously rendering. It can be done with FreeType.
    I made small refactoring of text measurement and added kerning
    support.

    So, *in the latest version of Athens-Cairo* you can get extents
    easily:

        extents := CairoFontMetricsProvider new
        font: StandardFonts defaultFont;
        extentsOf: 'Ta ffl'.


    extent is an instance of CairoTextExtents.

    Rendering on athens with Times New Roman size 200 gives: (Mac OSX
    Yosemite)

    And here is what I get in Keynote with the same font

    Inline image 2

    Close enough :D



    Cheers,

            "false"

            Free type source sans pro in Pharo just _does not_ support
            kerning.
