Titus Nemeth Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 Publisher v. 2.0 on a MacBook Pro (M1 2020) with macOS 11.7 (20G817) Hardware acceleration is on and has no effect. In fonts which have a 'GPOS type 8 chaining contextual lookup' within the kern feature, as is required for kerning tripplets such as <f, T>, no kerning data provided by the font is displayed by the app. If required, I can provide examples directly via email. Also for fonts which have only an old-style kern table no kerning is read from the font. As an example you can use the version of Optima that is included in MacOS. Whereas the old-style kern table is a legacy format, support of system fonts should be provided. The use of 'GPOS type 8 chaining contextual lookups' within the kern feature is in line with the OpenType specification and should be catered for by a professional layout app. For reference see also: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted January 10, 2023 Staff Share Posted January 10, 2023 Could you supply some of the other fonts you have issues with here please and we'll look into adding the support required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 As it happens, we do currently support simple kern pairs in the 'kern' table, but only the cross-platform version 0 variant. Optima uses version 1, which is Apple-specific. We'll add support for that in a future release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
