Check Kerning

thom

Hi,

I want to improve my script for generating images of sample texts in (tiny)DrawBot directly from the ufo.
Is there an easy way to check if two glyphs has a kerning value?

thanks

There is the kerning attribute of a font
see http://www.robofab.org/objects/kerning.html

f = CurrentFont()
print f.kerning[('A', 'V')]

If there is group kerning, maybe you should flatten the kerning dict in a temporary dict.
If the kerning is only available in the features, best is to compile the font it and read it back into RoboFont.

good luck!

Merci.
Indeed, there is some group-group and glyph-group and glyph-glyph kerning. So no way to get directly a value out the ufo?
Will try the temp dict.

Thanks Frederik!
