Issue with missing kerns when using fallback family (or KeterYG font)
Dear list, Given the Following MWE, I notice that with latest beta (does not seem to happen before) kerns are not applied in paragraph in which there are some hebrew letters. This only affects text after that hebrew letters up to end of paragraph. I use 2 fonts in sample : EBGaramond and KeterYG (can be found in various places).

The MWE case is fixed but for some weird reason the « real » typesetting is still missing the kerns in some cases. I’ll try to dig up a bit more to modify the MWE eventually.

I’ll try to dig up a bit more to modify the MWE eventually. ok. nothing really fundamental changed, only a different kind of housekeeping which is fixable

No rush at all, I’ll try to work out another MWE or find out if anything is wrong with my typesetting. Enjoy New Year’s Eve, best wishes too to all other people in this mailing list for end of year.
