Why can't you use the existing public API for layout? This is much better because it works across multiple font formats including legacy kerning and opentype positioning.
from fontkit.
I agree the font.layout()
API is pretty solid. I needed the kerning because I am migrating Typogram from opentype.js to fontkit, and I already wrote my own layout logic dependent on getKerningValue
of OpenType.js
So having this API would make my developer experience much better, and require less code rewrite to migrate from OpenType.js to fontkit.
I also find the requested API helpful for debugging font. eg. to see if it has correct kerning values. One of the reasons I migrate is because of this bug of OpenType.js, where it doesn't read kerning data correctly for certain fonts. I tested with fontkit and it can read kerning data correctly, but the only way I found out is by looking at the rendition, I couldn't just output the kerning data reading directly with fontkit.
