Currently the QFont Font::font() method tries to apply the wordspacing and letterspacing set on the font. This value is not stored in the FontPlatformData and must be set on the QFont each time, also we try to have the actual font data not in WebCore::Font. This creates at least one issue: We have to apply the word and letter spacing each time which will always certainly end up in a call to QFont::detach. One solution would be to put a QFont into the WebCore::Font but this is a against the separation we try to achieve with the FontPlatformData. Another one is to not call these functions if we have the default letter and wordspacing. This is giving us a small improvement on the text classes.
