RE: [Freetype] Help with kerning troubles?

[Steve Johnson]

I've only tried this with Truetype so far.  I'm loading fonts from a
file.  I've seen the problem on both our platforms...Win2K and Solaris.
I'm  using using FreeType 2.0.3, but I just downloaded 2.0.5 and tried
my code with that version and I get the same behavior.

Specifically, I'm currently looking at the "Av" combination using
Microsoft's standard Arial font.  I pulled down a font editor that let
me see the kerning values.  The value for this pair is -37.  I can see
that this value is coming in properly and being used in what seem like
reasonable calculations to come up with the final offset value.  All
seems well except that the offset isn't visually correct.

        Are all the fonts in question TrueType fonts?  Are you 
loading them from file, from the OS (native font support), memory? 
On what OS platform are you doing this, with what version of FreeType?
