As a matter of fact, while FreeType 1 came with a few utilities demonstrating basic OpenType capabilities, FreeType 2 dropped them entirely, and it seems, from browsing the documentation, that there there is not even an OpenType-specific API in the latter (whereas there is one for BDF, PCF, PFR fonts ...) I've always wondered about this fact, but couldn't find any reason for it.

If Werner Lemberg reads the list, maybe he can enlighten us.

There is no real OT support in FreeType2. If you want kerning you'd better have a kern table. :)
