How to: RTL (Arabic)?

I work producing arabic fonts and would like to use also KO for this. From what I see it is not generating any pair for the arabic glyphset. I also wonder if KO is capable of differentiating LTR from RTL as Glyphs is doing, if not this could be in the wishlist. And the tricky part: kerning shared pu...

Re: Handwritten/Script font

Thanks @neveragain. The problem is that I do want kerning between letters and symbols, but not between letters themselves. For example I want kerning between /a and /asterisk, as well as /b and /asterisk but not between /a and /b.

Pre-Kern On?

I was wondering if there could be (or you have thought of) a Pre-Kern On script or plugin based on the way Kern On analyses pairs. I explain: the general purpose of kerning should be to fix what we cannot achieve with spacing, so I guess the worst the spacing is the more pairs Kern On will generate....

Re: Kerning groups and missing glyphs

It works pretty well after updating the features, as you mentioned. As @Gini did, I also added some pairs with "dcaron" and "lcaron" (mainly accentuated letters) but probably there are no words with those occurrences. One thing that I feel could be useful is the kerning pairs of ...

Kerning groups and missing glyphs

I've been testing Kern On and see a lot of potential in this plugin. I know it might be a bit contradictory but I think it would be nice to retain control over the kerning groups prior to use Kern On (e.g. I would like to have the same kerning for different accentuated A's). I was also wondering how...
