Expanding letterspacing in a whole font in FontLab

svenni

Hi.

I'm trying to figure out how to expand the letterspacing in a typeface i'm working on. Currently the color of the font is pretty good, but it needs to be a bit wider spaced for legibility. I thought this would be a fairly simple procedure, but so far books, manuals and googling have not come up with anything.

Thanks,
S.

Just mind your "boundary conditions", like the right side of the "r".
