RE : RE : Alignement problems in table with no borders
Jeremias,
I'd like to thank you VERY VERY VERY (...) MUCH for that quick, precise and
helpful answer ! It seems to work perfectly !
I am not a font specialist.
- Could you explain me the reason for that wrong behaviour (is it a bug) ?
- What are the potential issues involved by the removal of the "kerning"
elements in the metrics file (I had to remove them mymelf from the metrics
XML document using DOM / Xpath functions because the TTFReader.constructFont
element has no parameter allowing to switch kerning elements generation off
) ?
- Why the "no" value on the kerning attribute in userconfig.xml file is not
enough (I tried it does not work) ?
Thank's in advance
Regards

Try removing all kerning elements from the font metric XML file and
switching kerning to "no" in the userconfig.xml.

You're welcome.

It's a bug, yes.

No issues, other than the text generated could be nicer looking from a
typographical point of view. Kerning manipulates the horizontal
positioning of characters, for example it ensures that for "AV" the "V"
is moved closer to the "A" than it would normally be so the text looks
nicer.

I don't know. I've never managed to allocate the time to find out. I was
happy enough to have a work-around.
