Find kerning info from font
#1
Hi team,

I am looking to build a small program that takes three inputs:
- the name of an existing font file
- a character
- another character

The program is then to query the kerning table of the font specified, lookup the kerning pair (the two characters specified) and then return the kerning data for that pair.

I am not a programmer (and new to the forum), but have put together some simple automation programs in the past, not necessarily in Python or anything object oriented.

I am looking for ideas on how to write such a program or make use of existing (open source) libraries that can assist.

Thank you.

Marc.
