FontLab: Modifying several kerning pairs at once

ocular

Hi all,

Is there a way of simultaneously selecting a bunch of kerning pairs in a font (not all), e.g. in the Kerning Table, so that you could then modify them using the Adjust metrics command? I'm running FontLab Studio 5.0.4 on Mac OS 10.4.10.

Sorry if this has already been addressed; my search of Typophile wasn't so thorough.

You may try outputting a .AFM file and edit it in a text editor, or make your changes via scripting.

I was sort of aware of this possibility; I just didn't want to go there unless I needed to. I have used AFM files with Fontographer, but not yet with FL. (Scripting is beyond my currect skills.)

Thanks, Miguel!
