---- fontwise kerning uses a font property for passing along the
---- letterspacing factor
+--[[doc--
+
+  Fontwise kerning is enabled via the “kernfactor” option at font
+  definition time. Unlike the Context implementation which relies on
+  Luatex attributes, it uses a font property for passing along the
+  letterspacing factor of a node.
+
+  The callback is activated the first time a letterspaced font is
+  requested and stays active until the end of the run. Since the font
+  is a property of individual glyphs, every glyph in the entire
+  document must be checked for the kern property. This is quite
+  inefficient compared to Context’s attribute based approach, but Xetex
+  compatibility reduces our options significantly.
