Is Kern On deterministic?
Posted: 29 Aug 2022
Hello,
Since I am planning to work on a Cyrillic extension of a project, I was wondering what the implications are of using Kern On on a font that already is "finished" in its Latin state. In order to avoid text reflow and general changes to the existing font metrics/kerning, is it necessary to do the Cyrillic in a separate file? Or can I run KO again on the file (assuming I don't add any new models to the Cyrillic) and the kerning will be exactly the same?
Maybe more simply put: if I run KO on the same file twice, will the resulting kerning be exactly identical? Thank you!
