I’m having the same sort of problem as the initial poster here, except that nothing that I’ve tried, nor the help files, or any of the suggestions that people have made here in this thread, seems to be helping me at all.
Basically, I have a font that just refuses to kern at all! I’m using FontCreator 5.6 Professional. What I did was I started with a handwriting font (of my own handwriting) that I’d first created back in 2001 using Macromedia Fontographer. I was reasonably happy with it, and it was nicely kerned and everything, but there were some contour errors and other stuff that needed cleaning up and a few other changes. In the process of doing these latter, and just to finally get a little experience with FontCreator (after having had it for a couple of years now but not having really used it yet) I thought I’d re-create my original font from scratch. Copying/pasting the glyphs into their new slots was no problem, but I just can’t seem to get the kerning to do anything – AT ALL! If I do auto-kerning, then it just doesn’t seem to do anything when I test out the font, and nor does manual kerning. As the original poster of this thread mentioned, a particularly big issue seems to be the uppercase T with any adjacent letters – even when I can “see” that it’s there in the kerning, it just doesn’t actually show up when I go to use the installed font in any program (WordPerfect, Photoshop, or anything else).
For the life of me, I have no idea what I’m doing wrong. If you’d like, if you think it’ll help to see them, I could post both my original font (created in Fontographer back in 2001) as well as this new, problematic version.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
