font.widthOfGlyph() not implemented

[mashabow]

font.widthOfGlyph(glyph_id)

Returns the advance width (described above) for a single glyph id.

While the font.widthOfGlyph() method is listed in README.md, it doesn't seem to be implemented.

TypeError: font.widthOfGlyph is not a function

Sorry, I need to update the docs. Use font.getGlyph(glyph_id).advanceWidth.

@devongovett any chance that we can have a normal width and a "spacing" (which computes advancedWith - with)? That would make fontkit usable with letter spacing. Atm you dont know how big the space is between the lettes

[Pomax]

@Fuzzyma are you thinking of a shorthand call for glyph.advanceWidth - glyph.bbox.width?

[Fuzzyma]

Well it looks like thats exactly what I am looking for :D

Quick bump to say that the README still indicates font.widthOfGlyph(glyph_id) instead of font.getGlyph(glyph_id).advanceWidth.
