I've a curious problem: With Palatino or Latin Modern kerning seems to work as intended, but what's the matter with Minion (example below)?
This appears to be caused by the fact that in MinionPro most (not all, but most) of the kerning is specified via kern classes.
Than you for explanation! But, is it possible to activate kerning for MinionPro? And what about the following example? \startbuffer[KernTest] \startlines Tänze, Tanze, Väter, Vater, \stoplines \stopbuffer The kerned „Väter“ can't be right (with MinionPro). Greetings, Andreas

Here the blue (= base mode) actually looks correct, but that just means that mkiv needs a patch: the base kerns are also generated by the mkiv font loader, after all. It probably got confused by the kerning classes. I expect that it actually did work earlier (pre 0.31), and that what you see now is just a regression. But it is better for me to wait for Hans' comment than to dive into the code and maybe spend hours on a problem that would take him 10 seconds. Best wishes, Taco

i uploaded a beta that hopefully fixes it btw, you can say: \enabletrackers[otf.kerns] and see what is injected between glyphs thanks for the test files Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
