Hi there, When I export the kerning pair LA behaves correctly. Until certain other letters appear _after_ the A. For example, in FontGoggles (also Adobe ai and ind), type LA and it looks fine, LAP is fine, however type LAS and suddenly the A jumps back into the L. Same also happens with trigram LAD, the L jumps back. The kerning groups in Glyphs are set up correctly. In the kerning panel everything is compressed, no open locks. What am I doing wrong? ![image](https://forum.glyphsapp.com/uploads/default/original/3X/a/6/a6398ad6eac534ef6b3738545b679bed4301ecd0.jpeg) ---

Did you add the kerning in RTL mode? ---

That’s it! Somehow some RTL kerning snuck in there. I removed it and the problem is fixed Thanks Georg!
