Ok I'm not thinking on using autospacing instead of manual kerning ;) I just want to know what happend if I do an autospacing to my whole font if I did manual kerning (OTF) The autospacing will affect my manual kerning? Or are they 2 separate things in the font?
Thanks in advance!
Spacing and kerning are two different things. Spacing is modifying the sidebearings on each separate letter. Kerning is modifying space between a letter pair. Fontlabs autospacing doesn't seem to be very good, btw.
Cool, thanks!
Sorry, can you tell me why is not good?
Auto-kerning makes a big mess. Just do class kerning and manually kern key glyphs.

Both these function are bad because you loose all control of the result.
If you want to save time, use class kerning and class metrics instead.
