Class Kerning Printing and Suggestion.

FL 5.0.4 on WinXP.

 

It doesn't appear that class based kerns are reflected when printing from Fontlab. I would consider this a bug.

 

Secondly, how about adding a "sort by mark color?" I use different colors to mark glyphs that need help. Being able to quickly get to a list of glyphs with the same color would be nice.

Thank you for that macro, Adam.

Thank you,

You could temporarily expand classes in the Kerning Assistance window, print out all of the kern pairs, and close the vfb without saving.

Since a couple of people mentioned class kerning recently I've got a
suggestion for Studio5.  Would it be possible to give us a hotkey that
will switch from child to parent when a class exists.  If I've got a
string of text in the preview/metrics window and the string has a pair
that needs adjusting it would be nice if I could toggle back and forth
from child to parent since I might want to first tweak the parent so
that all the glyphs in the class get the benefit of the adjustment and I
don't build a list of exceptions I don't need.  And if we can do that it
would be great if once I've got the parent glyph in position maybe
tabbing thru all the children would be great as well.

I definitly agree with Geofactor1 suggestion to have hotkey(s) to toggle back and forth
from child to parent in the class kerning environnment.
