Just did that. Trunk updated. The only non-zero base kern is for the 
small pda font, where it is really needed.

Tried to dive a bit in the deep waters of CharacterScanner, and the 
handling of fractional kerning, etc. I believe that StrikeFont>>widthOf: 
should substract the base kern in the last line (as it does in Cuis), 
but doing this brings yet more artifacts...
