Kerning stopped working

I’m making good progress on my font, but suddenly I can’t kern. When I use Format-Kerning, I am able to create new pairs and apply changes to existing ones, and I see the changes happen in both the left and right panes of the Kerning window. But then after I’m done, I select Test Font, and none of my kerning changes are visible. It is just as it was before. I’ve also tested it in various other programs and same thing, my kerning did not change.

Previous to this, I had run autokerning on the extended set. I had also run autometrics to adjust the space around all the characters. But now I am trying to fine tune certain character pairs and can’t seem to do it!

What am I doing wrong? :open_mouth:

The font test window does not support kerning. Try the Preview Toolbar.

Thanks again, Bhikkhu. Now I can see my kerning.

I just deleted all my kerning because I realized i had the font metrics set too tight. Now I’ve opened up the space between letters and hopefully this will mean I have fewer pairs that need kerning.
