Character Combiner
Character Combiner in Action
I whipped up a program to help me with kerning in FontLab. It’s Windows-only, and needs the .NET framework to run. It’s in pretty raw form, but does what it does pretty well. Feel free to download it (click on the image above) if you’re one of the seemingly rare Windows FontLab users out there. The idea is that you have two sets of glyphs (in FontLab’s slash-name format), and you generate all (or some random subset) of the combinations of those glyphs. Copy and paste this list into FontLab’s kerning window, and kern baby, kern. There’s no documentation, so if it’s confusing, just shoot me an e-mail.
