Kerning data?

[czechman]

Greetings,

I'm back after many years of not using Fontographer and have a question... Where is the data for (Type-1) Kerning stored, in the Postscript file or bitmap file?

The reason I ask is that I have fonts running under Mac OSX 10.4 which refuse to load on my Mac running OSX 10.6 so I'm opening them in Fog and resaving them. The resaved fonts work fine on both OS with one issue... kerning. I've tried loading both the re-saved Postscript and bitmap file as well as the original Postscript file and generated bitmap file but the kerning never matches the kerning of the original font on the 10.4 machine.

I could open and re-save the entire family and install those files on all of my machines but I have nearly 1,000 documents that use that family and I'm concerned about re-flowing of text on those existing documents.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Woody

PS... Still running 10.4 in my business because I need to run an app in Classic.

Kerning is stored in the FOND resource in Mac suitcase. You can import it at any time with the File > Import > Metrics command.

Thank you, I'll give that a try.
