List of common kerning-pairs

You can make a general kerning text, which is not dependent on a certain typeface. Of course you might have to add or remove some, depending on what you have in the font. And as mekkablue says, it’s better to leave kerning as late as possible, though you might have to revisit basic sidebearing.

Anyway, this is the cap A part of my kerning text (I cannot share the whole thing). I recommend changing the text view width to at least 20,000 in Preference.
