Some UCAS pairs not getting kerned

Post by tiro_j »

I am working on a Canadian Syllabics project, and have noticed that some glyph pairs are being ignored by KO.

In the attached screenshot, the pair in the middle ᒥᓗ is not being kerned. I can set it as a model pair, but have noticed that some other pairs involving the syllabic characters ᒣ ᒥ ᒧ ᒪ are also being ignored, including the pairs ᒥᒧ and ᒪᒣ, which obviously need significant kerning so as not to give the impression of a word break.

This is strange. ᒥᓗ is in the list of pairs that are to be kerned. One explanation would be that any of the glyph sides has “No kerning” specified by accident. Maybe this has happened?

I checked, and all these glyphs have ‘Standard kerning’ set. Also, they are correctly kerning to some other shapes, and only failing on some.
