Disable Font Features (Kerning)

Hi all,

the Cocoa documentation reads /"The Cocoa text system provides methods to turn kerning off, use the default settings provided with the font, or tighten or loosen the kerning throughout a selection of text."/ but I can't seem to find a way to do that (turn kerning off).

Unfortunately, the app I am currently porting to the Mac needs to know the advances of indiv idual glyphs for its own layout procedures to work properly. However, proportional (nominal) character widths are not compatible with kerning.

Is there a recommended way to turn kerning off (for a font or completely?).

Any advice is appreciated.

Cheers!
Andre
