Hello,
I’d like to have an explanation to understand why the kerning I made in my font doesn’t work when I try in fontgauntlet or in Adobe apps. I made several CALT, then my kerning, but not a single kern works. Any help appreciated!
In your screenshot, the A in VA is not the same.
I assume you kerned the default one but not the alternate.
Thank you for your trained eye, but there is absolutely no kerning; should it be that kerning with CALT feature needs special treatment?
You kerned @V with @A (kerning class/group).
If your alternate A doesn’t have kerning groups set like your default A, it’s normal that no kerning is applied.
Thanks a lot for your answer. I’ll try to do that.
Either add all the alternates to the same kerning groups (if their shape is reasonably close) or activate the calt feature while kerning. Then you get the right combination automatically.
Ok, I see better now. It works!
Thanks Georg.
