Font Design - Autokerning Technology?


Aside from kerning all my glyph pairs by hand, is there a generally acceptable automated solution? I just used FontForge's autokerning feature, which seems like a very rough approximation at best.

Thank you!


Solution

  • There isn't much around and everything what exists is far from being "a generally acceptable automated solution". The ones I know:

    Proprietary software

    http://ikern.com/k1/ (Service only)

    http://fontmaster.nl/ (has a Module called KernMaster)

    Open source
