Ah glad to see that I am not the only one who manual kerns even though there is auto kern in Font Creator program. I too would love to reduce the millions of manual kerning pairs that I seem to have to do even after running font with auto kern. See my post on being able to kern left and right with 3 places instead of the 2 kern method now in the program, it can be done cause it has been done in the past in other CAD program, just look at the number of views to see other would love this feature added as an update.

Yes, I saw your post that you added not long ago.

Manually kerning thousands or tens of thousands of pairs is a waste of time — that’s probably why no one does it unless they don’t know how to use autokern and kerning classes. After running Autokern on my fonts, I manually check half a dozen pairs that I know are likely to be wrong, like C hyphen. If I am being very picky, I manually skim through several hundred pairs of kerning classes. I might do this for the first (Regular) style of a font, but I then import the *.otlfd script into the other styles, and just run Autokern again to update the pairs for the new style, then manually check just the known troublesome pairs.
