Clash between f and ) #21

Open baums opened 1 year ago

baums commented 1 year ago

The letter f clashes with (touches) following closing parenthesis: ggf01

The combination should look more like this: ggf02

Thanks - we'll look at this for the next version.

Lowercase F and the right parenthesis aren't the only characters that clash with eachother. Several letters with retroflex and palatal hooks or letters with curls can also clash with one another as shown here image

With thousands of glyphs in the font there are many potential clashes, but it would be impossible to kern every visually possible sequence. How likely is it that some of the combinations you illustrate would actually appear in real text?

At least the following clashes between f and closing brackets: f] f) f} f⟧ f⟩
