I have a question about metrics and kerning groups. The right of my “3” and “8” both have the same shape and belong to the same kerning group (screenshot attached). The metrics are as follows:
3:
30 units left
25 units right.
8:
25 units left three (25) inherited units right.
My Question: Is there a metrics formula I can type on the left side of my “8” so that it always matches the right side if “three (25)” were to change? I think this makes sense because both sides of the “8” match the right of the “3.”
You put it in the kerning group text box. This are for kerning group names. Put it into the side bearing text box (where the numbers are, left and right directly around the glyph name).
