Once you figure-out the settings, easy to test any font for German support. Languages support tools are really extensive. ĭisplays all characters in one big page (only those with code points). Includes code points, and glyph number for un-encoded glyphs. ĭisplays all characters/glyphs (includes un-encoded glyphs, like small caps, etc). Lists all characters (with code points) nicely organized and displays code points. The Kerning panel is patterned after the Kerning table in Fontlab Studio 5 and displays all the pairs which are available in the current font.ĭouble-clicking on a pair in this panel brings the pair to the Glyph window for edit.Online tools for when you have not installed the fonts: The Kerning panel can be activated by using Windows > Panels > Kerning or by clicking on the button in the Property bar. To delete all kerning pairs, open the Kerning panel and select Remove All Pairs in the local “hamburger” menu. open the Metrics table and type 0 (zero) in the kerning field.click on the pair in the Kerning panel and then on the “minus” button at the bottom of the panel.click on the second glyph in the pair and then on the “x” button next to the kerning value field in the Property bar.click on the second glyph in the pair and type 0 (zero) in the kerning value field in the Property bar.To delete a particular kerning pair (whether it involves classes or simple pairs), you can: To switch the cloud on/off, use the Show > Kerning Classes command. If you have kerning classes defined all glyphs of a class are shown as a “cloud” in the Kerning mode. Use the “x” button to delete the kerning pair. Otherwise you see the glyph name in regular without an icon. If you kern the class you see its name in the pair in bold and with an icon. You can see the current pair in the Property bar: To turn off both classes and kern individual glyphs against each other, press both the Ctrl and Alt keys. To turn off the second class, so you kern the first class with only the second glyph, press the Alt key. To turn off the first class, so you kern only the first glyph with the second class, press and hold down the Ctrl key. Since class-to-class kerning is default, use the following methods to turn off one or both kerning classes so you can kern individual glyphs instead of their entire class: The amount kerned while using the cursor keys can be controlled by keyboard shortcuts: You can also do this by using the cursor keys ← for moving the glyphs closer and → for moving them farther. To edit a kerning combination, click on the second class (or glyph) in the pair and then drag it closer or farther to the first class (or glyph). In other words, class-to-class kerning is now the default, as long as the glyphs are members of classes. If any member of a class is kerned with another glyph (or class), the new kerning is applied not only to that glyph but to all members of the parent class, unless you specify otherwise. In a departure from FontLab Studio 5, there is no longer the concept of a “key glyph” of a class, which means that all glyphs in a class are equal members.
kern between two glyphs or Class Kerning, i.e kern between a glyph and a class, or a class and a glyph, or between two classes (create classes for Class Kerning in the Classes panel). In FontLab VI, you can perform Regular Kerning, i.e. For example if the current pair is “TA”, tapping W will turn it into “AT”. Tap on W to swap positions of the two currently selected glyphs. A white “thumb” indicates that there is no kerning. A yellow bar and “thumb” indicate positive kerning. You also can drag the “thumb” below the pair:Ī green bar and “thumb” under the glyph pair indicate negative kerning. To add a kerning pair, click on the second glyph in the pair and then drag it closer or farther to the previous glyph in the string. You can assign color backgrounds to Metrics and Kerning modes, independently of the general color background in use. You may also enter pairs using the Content sidebar by selecting the button in the Property bar. Type glyphs which you are going to kern and press Esc to switch back to the Kerning mode. This will switch the window to the Text mode allowing you to type any glyph or text. For example, while in the Kerning mode, press T. Use any of the methods described in Editing an Existing Glyph to add glyphs to the window. The Property bar of the Glyph window in the kerning mode looks like this: Do this by clicking on the Kerning tool ( K) or by selecting the Window > New Kerning Window ( New Kerning Tab) menu item. To adjust spacing between specific pairs or classes of glyphs, open a Glyph window in Kerning mode.
