GenewalDesign Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 I compared the kerning of some fonts between Designer and Inkscape, and the difference is huge. Here are my 3 fonts inside inkscape, typed as is : And here are the same 3 fonts, same text, inside Designer. Space between letters is way too important, but the one for "M" letters really stands out. I don't understand why Inkscape kerning is well balanced, and Designer... well, is totally wrong. Maybe because of my fonts ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Dan C Posted August 10, 2023 Staff Share Posted August 10, 2023 Thanks for your report and sorry to hear you're having trouble! 51 minutes ago, GenewalDesign said: However, it seems Leisure Park is actually free. https://www.kernclub.com/shop/leisure-park-font Unfortunately Chrome has actually blocked the .ZIP download, both from the site directly and through the order email in Gmail for security reasons. Are you able to upload a copy of the .otf font file (not the zipped version) to the below link for me? I appreciate you cannot provide the other commercial font files. https://www.dropbox.com/request/rpohKGpG6t3NAlH5ozx2 Once uploaded, please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
