Kerning for P+comma+quote is overly tight #213

Closed codeman38 closed 7 years ago

codeman38 commented 7 years ago

In recent versions of Roboto (at least 2.132 through 2.135), the kerning of P, and ,' are tight enough that, in the string P,', the quotation mark actually overlaps with the letter P. This is the case with all comma-quote kerning pairs (single and double quotes, straight and curly).

Looks related to issue #195

Yikes, I think I introduced this with https://github.com/google/roboto/commit/ecbda8dcfab710d96a16f1b0d7aac1ecfd6d6267 (but not the L' issue which has always been in v2). I guess the old behavior, which didn't actually interpolate kerning rules, actually worked better as a kind of happy accident. Thanks for the catch.

I think I'm seeing a related behavior with a capital P and colon: image

EDIT: Seems like this was already fixed.
