[svgwg] Kerning support via `kerning` or `font-kerning`attributes (#868)

antmelnyk has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/svgwg:

== Kerning support via `kerning` or `font-kerning`attributes ==
Hey, thank you for the great library 🙌🏻 .

The issue is about:
https://www.w3.org/TR/css-fonts-3/#font-kerning-prop
or
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG11/text.html#KerningProperty

Do I understand correctly that kerning is automatically turned on? And if yes, is it possible to turn it off? I've tried to play with `kerning` and `font-kerning` attributes but seems like they don't have any impact. I see there is `a-kerning.svg` in the tests, but I struggle to find any usage of the attribute inside the source code of a library.

And if kerning is automatically on, how it's actually implemented? Does it use `kern` from the font data?
