[Bf-taskforce25] kerning - Re: [Bf-blender-cvs] SVN commit: /data/svn/bf-blender [20837] branches/blender2.5/blender/source /blender: Made the kerning a float, this give a little more of tweak.

Hi Diego,

It's cool that there is the kerning option now, but 0.5 is still *way*  
too much.

It should definitely be on 0.0 by default - it was really nice then.  
Currently at 0.5 it really hurts readability, the kerning is very  
uneven (look at the space between the 1 and 0 in 100), and in some of  
these uneven areas comes close to the width of a 'space' between  
words. 0.5 looks more like a fixed width font, which is definitely not  
what we want, and not good typography.
