Reinstalling kerning pairs from Kern Feature

Chris Lozos

Somehow all of my kerning pairs vanished from one my FontLab files. The classes are still intact and I have a backup of the Kern feature. I would like to dump the data from the kern feature back into the font table as a means of recovering all my hours of kerning work. Is this possible or even advisable?

For single pairs in the kern feature: save the feature code to a text file and edit it to look like an .afm file, then import into FontLab Studio from there.

For class pairs: hm, that might be somehow more difficult. Is there any class-based kerning in your kern feature?

My kern feature is mostly classbased kerning. My classes are intact. Thanks to help from a friend, I got it all working now.
