Hmm, I've never noticed anything like that in any font data I've inspected, but maybe I haven't dug deep enough. Do you remember where you've seen something like that? Kerning pairs, bearings and advance widths is how I understand kerning typically works.
But anyway, I made this because it works with any vector shape, wheter it is a font or not. I already use a version of it in my experimental font editor and text layout tools to skip the manual kerning process.

@gdc Crikey! Now you're asking! I think I recall the high, middle, low zone info from some textbook I read about Postscript. I'll get back to you if I remember or rediscover it!
