Import Kerning Pairs into FC8 like the old 7.5

Yes. See the FAQ Sticky Thread at the top of this Support Forum.

I am curious to know why you consider the Autokern results for these pairs to be really bad? A screen shot of the autokerned pairs in your font would help. Do you think they are too tight or too loose? The Autokern settings can be adjusted from the default of 350 funits.
