Re: different results for similar shape

Different strokes, I guess. I just don‘t feel comfortable shipping those in a commercial font. I have found several just typing some combinations—none of them from "common use" so far, but I can never be sure as I don‘t know how many other colliding combinations there are. I can imagine ty...

Re: different results for similar shape

Thank you for a candid response, Tim.

As unfortunate as it is, I will keep my fingers crossed for a remedy in some of the future updates.

Re: different results for similar shape

Hmm, that is extremely disappointing then. I appreciate your explanation—while I am completely on board with the idea that I have to forgo some level of control and trust KO to make sound decisions on what constitutes a pair worth kerning, it‘s quite a different beast altogether to get *faulty* kern...

Re: different results for similar shape

Thanks for the comprehensive explanation. That‘s basically how I imagined it to be and makes sense from a programmer‘s perspective. Considering how the algorithm operates, it‘s to be expected some pairs will get compressed into similar-enough classes and thus will have some kerning (n-comma n-quites...

Fair enough, I will try to word it a bit differently: when KO engine is running - those pairs that should be kerned look fine - those that should be ignored (e.g. a-quotesinglbase) look also fine - Note a-quotesinglbase is not ...

Re: different results for similar shape

Touché. Another reason it should not get kerned though, correct?

Another example I‘ve spotted now: exclamdown Je-cy gets overkerned (non-existent pair), exclamdown J doesn’t.

Re: different results for similar shape

Thanks for the quick reply, Tim. Yes, I agree that "a-quotesinglbase" is not a real use-case and thus I am completely fine it being left out/ignored by KO. The problem is when these "nonexistent" pairs get faulty kerning as shown—I had the same problem earlier today with "em...

Re: different results for similar shape

Hello Tim, I think I have a very similar problem with comma/quotesinglbase. Whilst KO is running everything seems ok, but once I click "Kern On" to generate all kerning pairs and open the file again, some kerns are completely off and from what I can see are compressed into odd groups (like...

Re: Glyphs3 extension crashes app

Hello,

I have somewhat replated problem: a font kerned in KO 1.01 now keeps crashing right on plugin initialisation after I updated to 1.02.

Other font files seem OK. Sending the ill-behaving font file to your email Tim so you can hopefully investigate.
