<div dir="ltr">I don't know what font data our "kerning only" implementation is using under the hood, but the kerning used when calculating the advance is from a call to <font face="monospace, monospace">FT_Get_Kerning</font> with the <font face="monospace, monospace">FT_KERNING_DEFAULT</font> flag.

The images below are using the Roboto font, and show the output from<br>
each implementation.<br>
The top image is using our "kerning only" implementation, and the bottom<br>
image is using HarfBuzz. Note that the "T" and "e" characters are<br>
further apart in the bottom image.<br>

Roboto-Regular.ttf from <a href="https://github.com/google/roboto" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/google/roboto</a> doesn't have 'kern' table, so the only way to enable kerning for it is to use GPOS kern feature.<br>
<br>
What does your "kerning only" implementation do? It only applies this GPOS feature skipping the rest of shaping/positioning stuff?<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
