Basic Kerning Profile
Posted: Thu Sep 22, 2016 4:21 pm
Hello,
I am looking for a super basic kerning profile or method that includes pairs with both letters, numbers, and commonly used puncutation. I tried stripping out information from several other fonts but haven't found the right steps (here in the forum or through fiddling around with the program) which explain how to make a simple kerning table that isn't as limited as the initial kern wizard letters-only table and that isn't as prohibitively complex as some of the tables and class sets included in other fonts.
What I am really looking for is a way to make a table that includes all run of the mill letter and number pairs so that my coworker and I can kern fonts fairly quickly without having to hand-select several thousand pairs one by one.
TL;DR: How can I expand the kern wizard so that it includes number and number/letter pairs and other commonly used punctuation symbols such as dashes, commas, and quotes?
If there is a post here which explains this sort of thing or if there exists a .txt of code which can be pasted into the code editor that would be amazing. And if not, knowing there isn't would at least save us the time of needlessly looking for such a solution.
Thank you!
Logan
