/fl kerned differently than /l

Post by SCarewe »

Hello, I have run into a very strange behaviour: Why is my /fl–/o kerned differenclty than /l–/o?

Kern On claims that there is a huge range within which /fl–/o can be kerned, although it is very fixed on /l–/o (since I have /n–/o as a model already).

What is going on here?

This is really difficult to answer without having the font file, I am afraid. Would you mind sending it to me?

Thanks for taking a look at my file and the quick response.

Reminder to myself to always triple-check even the most basic things. I had set special spacing for my /fl (all ligatures) by mistake.

As I wrote above: I had set special spacing for my ligatures. Set it to Standard Kerning, and check that you have no special spacing set anywhere you don't explicitly want it.
