Kernclass to Glyphnote
These scripts help to generate kern classes. The information is stored in each glyph – in the glyph note (as xml). You always have the overview to which class the letter belongs (e.g. if you are in the metrics window). It generates valid classes without double glyphs to avoid this error: [WARNING] Start of new pair positioning subtable; some pairs may never be accessed: [ ... ]
Syntax
There are several steps.
- You write kerning classes in the glyph note with the script "KC Kernclass to Glyphnote". Unless you have some really special needs you can skip this step.
- You put the info in each note. Here the script "KC Update Glyphnote Kerning" helps by trying to find the base glyph from the components or getting it from a list.
- Now you can edit the glyph notes.
- Generate the kerning classes with "KC Glyphnote to Kernclass".
You will often repeat steps 3 and 4 in the editing process.
