Just saw that the kernings array in the fontFamily loaded by three mesh ui is empty

Hoping for a hacky workaround if there is one!

@Marcel_Wiessler1 I can see a fix for this landed in Three-mesh-ui in 6.5.3

Hi everyone! First thanks for your great work on this library it really helps… a lot when developing UIs in VR. Unfortunately I hit an issue related to fonts. It seems that for some fonts the glyph positioning/metrics aren't correct. The json files generated by the [online converter](https://msdf-bmfont.donmccurdy.com/) seems to be fine (I also tested it with some of the offline tools, but get the same issues). In my case the error happens with the IBM Plex font but I was able to replicate it with Open Sans too. It seems that glyphs aren't correctly aligned vertically (and also the horizontal and line advances seem too big).: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8817287/153864071-27501694-5b94-4f41-b87d-ef62558286c4.png) This is the same application using the online converters default font (yahei), which doesn't exhibit the issues: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/8817287/153864284-320523cf-f131-4894-936e-37019bd64b00.png) I also tried various options (like kerning/no kerning) etc. but nothing seems to help. The preview of the fonts in the online conversion tool also displays the font correctly. Did someone else experience something similar? Is it possible that there is some user error on my part, or could there be an error in the libraries font handling?
