Yes — sorry I didn’t link.

Our loss.  =)

A little… and that little is quite helpful!

Will do, the moment I’ve got this commission out the door!  =)

Great!

Well, for example, dynamic f and p have different kerning needs, because of how 
far over to the right the top of the f hangs; I’d like to be able to 
(?auto-)adjust the kerning before/after a given dynamic text. When I find a 
really obviously example, I’ll get back to you — for now, this improved version 
is great.

Thanks!
Kieren.
