Well, I just found these letters with some IPA letters as ɪ, ɨ sightly have entry for kerning.

The glyph j is kerned. In what word do you see a problem?
ɖ, ɳ, ʠ, ʄ, ʅ, ʆ and ʐ seem not to be used in a written language.
ɗ and ɲ are used in African languages, and we will fix that.
The use of ʃ isn't clear to me.

Hi Hsing-Yen,
This isn't enough information. It will be helpul to know which languages these are used in. Some sample words would be good.
I see ɗ is used to write some African languages, but ɖ is just a phonetic symbol.
We kern for ease of reading and aesthetics of bulk text.

I found j, ɖ, ɗ, ɲ, ɳ, ʠ, ʃ, ʄ, ʅ, ʆ, ʐ should adjusted the kerning for several letters from IPA Extensions and Phonetic Extensions range.

I think some combinations as ſꝛ should be closer, because they can appearing in Latin siglum.

I found ɣ should adjust the kerning, as in Dzayer tamaneɣt (“Algiers” in Berber).

Of course we have no way of knowing what this combination should look like, without something like:
1) an image of pre-computer typography depicting it
2) a textual standard that describes its appearance.
(As usual, comparisons with modern computer fonts are immaterial.)

Hi,
I found Wikipedia refered Central !Kung have a word stand for “water”, which transcripted [ǃ̬˞ ˡú] in IPA, in this case the alveolar click letter is adding a rhotic diacritic. In FreeSans ǃ˞ looks tightly, but in FreeSerif they looks seperate.

Hsing-yen,
about retroflex click: sorry I don't know what you're talking about. Please provide us some text to work with.

Hi Steve,
I remembered that I received warning about a conflict between kerning table and GPOS when I opening FreeSerif.sfd with FontForge one day, I think maybe this conflict cause the problem.
I have tested retroflex click transcription in both FreeSans and FreeSerif, they works with FreeSans but not in FreeSerif, so you can just fixing in FreeSerif.

Hi,
the Czech letters had problems: some faces had table entries for them, others not -- and rather mysteriously. Thanks for pointing this out.
I have no idea what you mean about the retroflex click. I will need some text with this character in it.
Thanks again!

I think ďé, ťé (used to reperent their abeceda) as well as ľ should also adjusted for kerning in Czech and Slovak.

Hi Steve,
I think ǃ˞ (Retroflex click) should be kerning tightly in FreeSerif. This is apprearing in the Central !Kung dialects of Namibia and the Damin ritual jargon of Australia.

I think the kerning in some cases as ſs, ſz, ſʒ should be fixed.

See comment at bug 39474.
This resolves some of the issues mentioned here.
For the others, such as Small M + T, I will need to see an image.

Maybe because there's a SMALL M immediately after, which almost sticks to T, it creates this impression of mine.

Italic SMALL U+SMALL T, isn't the space too big between them?
|
Tue 30 Jul 2013 09:06:25 PM UTC, comment #5:
In the word "engine", isn't the G too far from N? I don't think you need an image in this case.
|
Fri 19 Jul 2013 10:42:43 PM UTC, comment #4:
No this y thing is the same as the "doubling" problem we discusssed in the other thread. In the kerning editor the pairs look nothing like this.
I really haven't had a chance to diagnose that problem.
Only now, I can't seem to turn it on and off as I did before, by building the .otf file directly. Mystery.
I tightenened up f with round letters.
|
Fri 19 Jul 2013 05:47:07 PM UTC, comment #3:
Also check the italic "y+something", it seems still too narrow even on XeLaTeX. Is it a bug of the program, or is it a flaw in the font, or am I just fixated on kerning? :)
|
Fri 19 Jul 2013 08:40:58 AM UTC, comment #2:
What about the "offo" pair, isn't the second "o" a bit too far too?
|
Fri 19 Jul 2013 12:02:40 AM UTC, comment #1:
Yeah, you're right. Fix in SVN.
FWIW, these pairs have been kerned, and re-kerned, many times.
Why they seem OK one day, and need adjustment another day, escapes me. But tall kinds of things can happen...
|
Thu 18 Jul 2013 08:48:13 PM UTC, original submission:
In the word "effect" with an "ff" ligature, isn't the second "e" too far away from "ff", as compared to the first "e"? I don't think an image is necessary in this case.
