Missing Autopairs / Unkerned Pairs
Posted: 13 Aug 2021
Hi Tim,
I've been testing the trial for a little while now – seems like a great tool! I'm having a bit of a problem though, with lots of pairs being left unkerned after telling the engine to 'kern-on'.
Many of my pairs, involving certain accented glyphs, or certain symbols, aren't being set to 'Auto' by default; in fact, none of the 3 pair type options of 'Model', 'Auto', or 'Ind' are selected by default.
I can manually set pairs to 'Auto', and, when I do, the engine kerns them. But it would be laborious to manually set every one of these pairs to 'Auto' – so I'm wondering if there is a way to set every possible kerning pair to 'Auto'?
I can get around this for the accented glyphs by limiting the kerning to something low like the default 36kB, forcing the accented glyphs to take the kerning group of their base glyph. But the engine still won't kern pairs which include certain symbols (e.g. 'A→') unless they have been set to 'Auto'.
FYI, neither of the glyphs in the pairs is set to 'No Kerning' (I've tried 'Standard Kerning' and 'Special Spacing'), and I currently have 54 models.
Many thanks in advance, have a great day!
