Support for Kerning Pairs
Please enable support for kern pairs. Many fonts, especially any custom handwriting ones like the one I use, would benefit greatly from Mockups respecting the kerning pairs specified in the font files.

Inappropriate?Hello Abhay, I must say I had to look up what Kerning pairs were, I had forgotten.
Here's what I found out:
- http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/...
- http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/lang...
It only works for embedded fonts, and it "should be used only when necessary, such as with headings in large fonts" (not sure why they say that, maybe a performance issue?)
Anyways, the first one is a deal-breaker for us right now, as we don't embed a font (in order to keep the application smaller).
If we do change to an embedded font, perhaps we can make the kerning a toggle in our configuration xml file... -
Inappropriate?Not that I'm a developer or know Flex or Flash, but I'm wondering if it's possible to load an external .swf file that has the font embedded that might be treated as an embedded font. So Mockups could check if "font.swf" exists, load it if it does, and then treat the font as embedded font; otherwise use a system default as usual. If this is at all possible, all i need to do is create a simple .swf file with my font embedded and we get the best of both worlds. -
