Re: [svgwg] tspan and text shaping (#634)

In the latter example, there are two different faces involved ("Arial" and "Arial Bold" [1]), and AFAIK GPOS/kern will only apply within the same face. (Compare with if the `<tspan>` had a different `font-family`.)

[1] Or whatever "Arial" ends up mapped to. Even if an implementation was to synthesize bold, it'd need to modify the metrics as well and in practice treat it as a separate face.
