           Summary: Support kerning with SVG web fonts
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Text
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: allan.jensen at digia.com


When an SVG font is used as a web font, it will not use the regular SVG layout engine but instead go through the fast font path. While there is support for kerning of platform fonts in the fast path now, there is still support missing for SVG fonts.

Note that kerning in SVG fonts is currently also absurdly slow and will need to be greatly improved since SVG web fonts are used on many website since it is the only web font allowed on iOS.
