Hi,
I’m looking for resources on diacritic combinations, specifically combinations of capital letters and lowercase accented glyphs that actually appear in Latin-based languages so that I’m only kerning what I need to.
I’m already familiar with Context of Diacritics and Andre Fuchs’ research into Relevant Kerning Pairs, and I own a copy of Manual of Diacritics – which I would highly recommend – but does anyone know of any resources that might help with the above?
One approach that I thought I could take is to capitalise the first letter of all the character combinations found on Context of Diacritics, but I’m assuming that would create pairs that are unlikely to ever be used, hence creating unnecessary kerning pairs.
Additionally, does anyone know of any resources or guidelines regarding ligatures for certain character combinations where accents may clash? For example, Tī feels like it would benefit from a custom ligature rather than looser kerning – if indeed it is a pair that ever appears in any languages.
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks,
