If it really is a kerning issue, then that would be font dependent.
Kerning information should be a part of the font, nothing else can know
the details required to properly kern a font than those that created it.
Sure, computers can measure the distances between things to get it
almost right, but there's no aesthetics to that.

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
