I’m trying to kern pi to letters and numbers, but in the OTD I am unable to kern Greek letters though it shows in the top window, it does not show in the bottom window. When I click on the pi symbol in the bottom window, it does not register anything.
As you can see, in the pic, the top window shows the kerning but the bottom window does not. The same is true for Sigma. When I call the symbol Sigma with the unicode, it does not register. When I name it Summation, it does. This leads me to believe that there is something askew about Greek letters.
Erwin, I have emailed you the project file.
This is indeed an issue which needs to be addressed.
However, we have a dilemma here as the fix will now treat the combination π2 as Greek script, while you use it in your Latin script. You can overcome this by forcing to use the Latin script instead of Auto.
The digit “2” is either in a run of text for Latin or for Greek, not both
Do try this text:
π2A A2π
Also test it in Firefox, and you’ll see if has the same result. You’re mixing text in a way which is not normal, so better avoid such text, or at least use a space between Latin and Greek text.
I’ve tried. It doesn’t seem to recognize any letter or number placed before a Greek letter. I need to be able to kern letters to Greek letters. Also, the script changes to Auto everytime I close and open the OTD. Very inconvenient. The Greek letters kern when it is the first letter in a pair, just not as the second in a pair.
So I humbly request that this be fixed in the next release. I cannot abide not being able to kern regular letters with Greek letters.
In the meantime, can you make version 2409 available to me. I’d rather not have the Greek working what with the bugs in 2410, in 2409 at least I was able to kern regular latin like “2B”. I have installed 2405 to see if it works, and indeed it does. So the problem it seems was introduced during 2410.
I don’t understand why I’m unable to kern “2B” in 2410 and yet I am able to in 2408. Also in 2408 I am able to kern a class which contains Greek letters, though it doesn’t kern the Greek it is able to kern the other glyphs in that class. This I am unable to do in 2410. I don’t understand.
