Kerning not works in the Canva.com

Hi. I’m found the font kerning disabled in the canva application. Do some facing this problem? There are two renders — from the canva without kerning add the same image from illustrator (brighter letters) kerned as expected.

I would not expect Canva to even have kerning since it is not intended for use by professional designers. Adobe Illustrator, however, is a professional-level app.

Yes. Agree

Every app that displays type should support GPOS though. If it does not, I’d consider it a bug. Please feel free to tell the makers of Canva about it. Since they do not offer a support contact on their page, it is probably best to call them out on Twitter.

Same problem here… but for Canva, Kerning is not important.

The purpose of kerning

Kerning may seem like an unnecessary or unimportant detail, but adding it as a quick extra step at the end of your design workflow can make a big difference in helping typography-focused projects look polished. Kerning will be most important for large, highly visible text like typographic logos or headlines.
