Kerning not outputting as previewed
Posted: 12 Jan 2023
Hey Tim, we’ve ran into a few errors regarding Kern-on, we’ve found that when Kern-on is automatically previewing kerning pairs – this ends up being different to the outputted kerning. See screenshots below.
Screenshot 1: Previewed kerning pairs
Screenshot 2: Outputted kerning pairs
We’re finding that this is happening with diacritical marks, vs overhanging letters such as the TVW, where the right side is being crushed and not taking the value being applied by the models on the left-hand side – see the 2nd screenshot. TïTîT TöTôT etc
The only fix we’ve managed to find is by setting up the affected glyphs as independent pairs which feels very long and is often easier to kern outside of Kern-on manually.
Is there a reason this is happening and is there a fix to make the process easier?
Cheers!
