That kerning on that "hello world" vector font demo though

  Yeah kerning is still WIP

    Honestly the amount of crazy code involved in Linux font rendering[1], and then you get to CJKV support[2], it's mind-boggling. Even then, it's nowhere near as good as macOS :-/ [1] https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pango & https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz [2] https://www.amazon.co.uk/CJKV-Information-Processing-Ken-Lunde/dp/1565922247 https://www.amazon.co.uk/CJKV-Information-Processing-Ken-Lun...

      I'll disagree. Linux has better font rendering than Windows and macOS.

        Can you expand on that a little? I know a little bit about how Windows and macOS handle font rendering, but I know nothing about how Linux does things.

    If it had kerning, then would it still be brutalist?

  In this case, keming is a more appropriate term.

    My favourite patch note of all time is from Path of Exile and reads simply “Fixed keming.”

  You mean letter spacing? It looks like there is no kerning going on.
