So, I've tried a lot of fonts, and a lot of them whilst looking great have little problems that are quite annoying... Like kerning problems, extra space between certain letters or just generally spaces that are a bit too big. Is there anything I can do to fix this without editing the font itself?

AGS currently does not provide any means to apply parameters to TTFs. Also, on Windows it is using pretty outdated version of fonts library, which displays old fonts correctly, but some newer fonts incorrectly (it was in plans to update it some day in the future).

I know... It's just really annoying when you find the perfect font and then you realise it's got weird spacing between some of the letters, and then you have to go back to searching again for that perfect font. Any idea when the fonts library and this functionality (Such as Kerning) might be updated? Text is an important part of my project and I want it looking the best it can be.

No, and besides, I do not even know if that will actually help.
When experimenting, I found the main issue is not in replacing the library with the newer version, but that it breaks many working fonts. Was trying to find out which parameters use for compatibility mode, but had to stop because it was taking more time than I could spare.
