Kerning incomplete #8

Closed RosaWagner closed 2 years ago

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

@sannorozco I just checked quickly most famous kerning pairs on two fonts:

It looks unequal and unfinished. Do want to re-check kerning before I take over?

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Yes will re-check this afternoon and let you know, thanks!

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Propagating this, consider A angle is different from V, if tiger looks odd.

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

@sannorozco How is it with the kerning?

Can you drop proof?

1. Uppercase-Uppercase

All pairs Eg. for /A AAABACADAEAFAGAHAIAJAKALAMANAOAPAQARASATAUAVAWAXAYAZA
paragraph of all caps text

2. Lowercase-Lowercase

All pairs Eg. for /a aaabacadaeafagahaiajakalamanaoapaqarasatauavawaxayaza
paragraph of lowercase text

3. Uppercase-Lowercase

All pairs Eg. for /A HAan HAbn HAcn HAdn etc
paragraph of text with capitals on first word

And same scheme for these situations: 4. Uppercase-punctuation 5. Lowercase-Punctuation 6. Numbers-Numbers 7. Numbers-Punctuation 8. Numbers-Uppercase 9. Numbers-Lowercases

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Oh yes, will drop them today, apologies, I got caught on other project.

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Proofs added in docs. We can talk if you need.

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

Zuper 👍 I annotated the 1st PDF for small adjustments (we are almost there :).

KernProof-AU-Schools-NSW-ACT-Bold.pdf

I don't know your process, are you using a tool? Like, I don't know if I have to annotate all the PDFs or if you gather data from the adjustments and then propagate everywhere.

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

I use MetricsMachine, going through lists: lc x lx, UC x UC, UC x lc, lc x sorts, UC x sorts, figs x figs,

I can propagate these everywhere, thanks!

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

@sannorozco how is it going with the last kerning corrections?

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Almost done! pushing soon.

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

Hey @RosaWagner, I updated the kerning proofs, pending for tomorrow is the last two VIC-WA-NT. Apologies for the delay, last week I got caught on another project.

Let me know if needs more, thanks!

sannorozco commented 2 years ago

@RosaWagner last two proofs updated. Let me know if it needs more, thanks!

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

Thanks, I take a look now

RosaWagner commented 2 years ago

LGTM. I start the preparation of the files now, we shall not forget for the next update to also apply kerning to small case variants.
