I remember that I saw the list of ftstring options someday, but I can't
remember where (maybe in the source).

Anyway, turning kerning on and off does not help.
The results look the same when I'm in 75 dpi.
I just saw on slashdot someone who wrote that X11 was aimed at 75
dpi display, I don't know what it means, but can it explain the problem
?

Turning on and off hinting seems to shrink the length of the
string, and gives almost the result of the svg picture.
Maybe I should use non-hinted xadvance and hinted pixmap, it
it has sense.

Btw, did anyone understand the problem ?
