- jacobolus 17y agoApparently it’s a webkit thing, done for performance reasons. On IRC, it was claimed that when they last tried it, kerning slowed text rendering down 25% (because it makes it impossible to cache some glyph metrics or something), but that was apparently quite a while ago, and they said it "might be a good idea to test again".
