Hi,

I'm having letter spacing issues with all my fonts on Epiphany (and
possibly other webkit-gtk based browsers.

Inner letter spaces are irregular.

Kerning definitively works: setting optimizeLegibility clearly makes a
difference. So the problem lies somewhere else;

Here is what is a zoomed screenshot of what, for instance, I get:

On Chromium, I can see a much better result:

I'm using Archlinux with Epiphany 3.16.3 and WebKit 2.8.5, using
Fontconfig Infinality Ultimate.

Any idea of where the error comes from?

Thanks a lot,

Alexandre
