I couldn't get the font used, and for some reason the PNG image is missing
too.

That uses max_extent to keep the characters spaced properly? That's the
idea? Looked like a good plan.

No one responded to your message at the time, and I can't remember much of
this sort of thing except for many various discussions about font behaviors
in general. Any chance something changed in 3.5 which fixed kerning issues?
Because I know I have a test scene which had problems with missing pieces of
text (someone had posted about) early on and now renders okay.

I'm trying your kerning macro with arial.ttf and I am not seeing a marked
difference between using it and not using it. So I'm guessing it matters
more for misbehaved fonts?
