Problem with "Interpolate master kerning"
Posted: 18 Feb 2022
Hi Tim,
I'm working on a font project with 5 width in the same file and each width have 3 masters. (so I have a total of 15 masters). I have set models only for extreme weight of each width and tried to use "Interpolate master kerning" for regular masters.
So I have a set up like this :
- Compressed Thin [Models set]
- Compressed Regular [Interpolate master kerning]
- Compressed Black [Models set]
- Condensed Thin [Models set]
- Condensed Regular [Interpolate master kerning]
- Condensed Black [Models set]
etc...
But value interpolated with "Interpolate master kerning" are not correct.
I think KernOn doesn't detect correctly which source masters has to be select for each master set on "Interpolate master kerning".
I tried to keep only one width and run KernOn again, and this time master with "Interpolate master kerning", has been correctly interpolated.
Maybe it could be nice for master set on "Interpolate master kerning", to be able to indicate to KernOn which masters to select as interpolation source. Something like in the plugin "Kernkraft" by Mark Frömberg.
