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

Hmm, seems the kerning is affected even with lower case:
```svg
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" font-family="Arial" font-size="48" style="font-kerning: normal">
    <path id="crosshair" d="M 20 100 L 180 100 M 100 20 L 100 180" stroke="gray" stroke-width="0.5"/>

    <text id="text1" x="100" y="100" text-anchor="middle">
        f<tspan>fi</tspan>
    </text>

    <text id="text2" x="100" y="140" text-anchor="middle">
        ffi
    </text>

    <rect id="frame" x="1" y="1" width="198" height="198" fill="none" stroke="black"/>
</svg>
```
What looked like kerning was just glyphs rendering further than their advance.
