[Devel] Accessing the kerning table directly...

[Matthew Titelbaum]

To whom it may concern:

    I recently started looking at the FreeType API, and it is exceptionally 
impressive.  I would like to use it in a utility I am writing, but I've come 
up to a bit of a snag that I haven't been able to find a solution for in the 
docs.  I was hoping to be able to use FreeType to help convert TTF's to a 
different format by stripping out the needed data from the TTF.  One of the 
things I would like to strip out is the kerning information for a face.  
Now, I suppose I could reconstruct the table by checking the kerning 
information of every glyph in a face against all the rest of the glyphs in 
the face using FT_Get_Kerning, but I was wondering if there was already a 
way to access the kerning table directly.  Looking at the code, it seems 
that the table itself is private.  Is there a way to get to the table using 
the API?  Thanks in advance.
