KernOn exceptions

[lukecharsley]

Hi there, I'm new to KernOn so forgive me if these are rookie questions.

I'm using predefined kerning groups that I'm setting manually before using KernOn — really happy that this is a feature with KernOn!

Although, I'm finding that after setting all of my models, when I click KernOn and the kerning is spat out there are lots of exceptions that don't make a lot of sense, as well as a lot of diacritic glyphs (that are grouped up with the base glyph) that sometimes don't get given the kerning value of the group they're assigned to.

For example, I grouped e and o into the same kerning group, and after hitting KernOn z_o has zero kerning (the value I have given as a model) and is locked, then z_e is given -14 as an exception, even though ž_e is zero or z_é is zero as they should be. I'm finding there are quite a lot of these random exceptions.

Is there a reason for this? Or any way to mitigate this issue?

Thanks!

This sounds strange. Would you mind sending me the file? If the shapes of o and e are virtually the same on the left then they should receive the same kerning. Without seeing the file, the only thing I can imagine is that the e or the o has special spacing.
