By the way, am I the only one wishing for better kerning in Plucker (even
without italics)? I could do some kerning with aa fonts (maybe not a
character pair table as that might make the word-wrapping too complex, but
just to allow characters to overlap succeeding/preceding ones). One
difficulty is that then it becomes possible for a glyph to go to the left of
the current margin, so the margins need to be adjusted. Another is that
since we're dealing with aa fonts, we need to handle overlapping glyphs with
something like a max(A,B) grayscale combination algorithm, which would slow
down rendering. (I wonder if a fast or-ing grayscale combination algorithm
might look OK. It would be worth trying.) Any thoughts are welcome.
