Kerning needs hacking on FreeType or Xft level.
I am afraid that even QT is too *high-level* for it.
// unless QT RichText started using kerning info.
AFAIK kerning pairs are accessible from FreeType API, but nobody uses it at a 
moment. 

|   leading -> there seems to be a debate whether this is linespacing or not.
