Hi Steve, Excuse me, do you assume that PDF (or embedded font in PDF) has some kerning information and PDF rendering system should reflect it? I'm afraid that PDF itself does not have, and, embedded font in PDF may have it but they are simply ignored. If you find some kerning feature that is specified in official PDF spec and unimplemented in poppler, please let me know.
I guess, PDF production system should tune the glyph positions strictly, and should not ask PDF rendering systems to reflect some kerning.
