1. A one-click option that would set all the naming data (family and subfamily names, Windows and Mac types, Pantone types) for each of the four basic varieties (Regular, Italic, Bold, BoldItalic). I had to go through quite a bit of fumbling to tweak a font that didn't have the subfamily names separated out from the family names (so each of the four appeared as a separate font in pull-down lists) to get the results to work correctly after saving.
2. The most common type of correction I've needed to do to autokern results is correction of excessive kern for some pairs (e.g. A' A" F, F.). A maximum value option would fix this problem (either a simple maximum or a "soft limit" function that is linear for low values and asymptotic as the limit is approached, along the lines of:
equation wrote:if k <= 2L/3 k-new = k
if k > 2L/3 k-new = L*k/(k + L/3)
k = initially calculated kern
L = soft limit value
