Subject: Sketch a proper font rendering infrastructure:

- Kerning
- LineSpacing
- ...

We should include that for a proper interaction with Graphics::Text
and to be able to render beautiful UIs.

Also, we need to discard spaces in newlines, break lines by word, and
that kind of things... We'll see.
