Strangely enough, My search did not show the relevant message(s) in
p.programming. I used "Ron Parker + kerning" In the Search bar of the
povray.org newsgroups...

Thank you, it appears I hallucinated there to be more and Google hates me.
Couldn't find it searching several ways.

Me neither.
Google sucks the big suck.
I even tried searching specifically for "font metric function" and got nothing.
Useless is being generous. Search engines today are worse than useless.
However, persistence wins the day! :)
Welcome back, Thomas.

sort of agree, but perhaps your combined activity has caused Google "to wake up"
:-), typing "ron parker font" in the above 'Search' shows the relevant result,
top of list.

I just did exactly that, and that thread isn't on my list at all.
3 pages of results, and not one of them is the proper thread.
It has to do with cookies and all of this "tailored search results" BS
Wish I could use Yandex or some of the other ones from this computer.
We need a private search engine for the newsgroups!
