Ok, I see--thanks. But if there's nothing else, I
guess my problem is another one.

For Type1 with pfm I get absolutely strange values.
For a URW Gothic L Book with pfm and
FT_KERNING_UNSCALED I get 65464 instead of -72 or
65488 instead of -48 but the positive values are ok.
With FT_KERNING_DEFAULT I get 372416 instead of -384.

For correct values I'd have to subtract the high
values from 65536 resp. 372800 - but since they are ok
if afm are attached I can't rely on that workaround.

What can be wrong here?
