It might not be that MS’s

In reply to Kerning, Software, and other thoughts:

It might not be that MS’s programmers are not able to implement kerning in MS Word.

I did not say that that “MS’s programmers are not able to implement kerning in MS Word.”. I said that “…Microsoft’s programmers are not good enough to write code that can correctly interpret OpenType class kerning.”. And that is true. OpenType kerning exists in Microsoft word, and it does not interpret OpenType class kerning correctly. Given that Microsoft is one of the companies behind the OpenType specification, and that Microsoft has had years and several versions of office to get it right, the only logical conclusion is that the Word programmers just aren’t very good.
