Feature Suggestion - Ability to adjust kerning on fonts

[JustinBrunick-YHS]

Adding the ability to adjust the kerning would be a great addition. Especially when using the Multilanguage Font, the kerning space between certain letters is very jarring. Currently, the only wat to fix this is to split the word into two sections and adjust them manually. In my included example, you can see the visual space created when an upper case A and Y are next to each other. Most graphic design programs fix this is automatic visual kerning or giving the user the ability to manually adjust the kerning between letters.

Thanks again and keep up the great work!

@JustinBrunick-YHS thanks, your picture shows it well. The Multilanguage font carries no kerning of its own, so every letter keeps its full width, and pairs like AY, AV, LT or To leave a gap.

Texts now have Automatic kerning under More in the properties. layerling looks at the shapes of each pair of letters and moves them closer where they leave too much room, in every font, your own fonts too, and on curved text as well. It is on for new texts. Texts in designs you already have keep their spacing until you switch it on, so nothing moves by itself. Letter spacing (%) still makes the whole line tighter or wider on top of that. This comes with the next version.

If layerling is useful to you, you can support it here: https://layerling.com/support.html

@JustinBrunick-YHS automatic kerning is in layerling 1.142.0 now. New texts use it right away; for older ones, switch on "Automatic kerning" under "More" in the text's settings.
