Production names question

Glyphs
1

Hi! If I have an UFO without the Production names, but containing all the kerning pairs already, what would be the most effective way in your opinion to rename all those glyphs to production names without messing up the kerning pairs? Re exporting the very same UFO to UFO but with production names on?

Renaming glyphs doesn’t affect your kerning. Glyph keys are stored as glyph IDs, not names.

Since you’re not renaming kerning groups, group kerning will also not be affected.

Does that answer your question, or did I misunderstand?

Hi Sebastian, thanks for your input. Yes partially it does, now I have got the question as to what is the best way to rename those glyphs to production names from the very same UFO file…

You can do that on export. The export dialog has an option to convert the names.
