The X adjustment of glyph widths is simply ignored, and glyphs are drawn stacked after each other baased on their original width, which results in kerning being ignored as well as other forms of glyph positioning like cursive anchors, however vertical glyph positions (in the Y access) are OK.Hi Khaled, wow, many thanks for your detailed analysis - that's actually usually the hardest part for most of the bugs. :) I'll look into this early next week.
