Making spacing changable without giving out automatic alignment?

madigens · February 11, 2018, 8:44pm

I have ohorn, uhorn, Uhorn and Ohorn where I’d like to change the right side bearing without giving up automatic alignment. Is this possible?

With an incremental metric key: =+10 will add 10 units to auto alignment.

That is possible. Type in ‘=+XX’ (preplace the XX with the value you need) in the right sidebearing field.

That works, but adds the amount to all weigths. I’d like to change this per-weight. Actually, I want to turn off autospacing but keep the anchor anchoring so that I can mindlessly use HT Letterspacer

You can have layer specific metrics keys with two equal signs.

Great, that did the job. Thanks.
