Well... there are quite a few, and we only have the OpenType fonts that came with ID2 so far. I'm sure we'll get Font Folio 9 eventually, but the faces we need macron-vowels in aren't all from the Folio and some aren't available in OpenType format yet (Quadraat Sans for a start). So we need to go down all the difficult roads as well as the easy OpenType one, hence the kerning script... difficulty is compounded by the material that comes in, each unit supplying Maori text has their own method for generating it in Word or whatever they use for text editing - sometimes one macron-vowel will translate as a comma and that totally fouls up search'n'replace functions.
