Personally I would continue with CSS styling and am in favor for dropping 'kerning'. But I have no idea if it is in use somewhere. > Sorry for the delayed answer. I see nothing that holds back removing 'kerning'. > In WebKit it doesn't matter if you specify kerning=".." or -webkit-font-kerning=".." - it's mapped to the same values internally.
