With a hearty thank you!

A helpful resource--thank you very much for posting it!

Very interesting. In English, the comma usually (but not always) goes inside the quotation marks, Lady," not Lady", but there are exceptions, so it's probably necessary to kern both ways round.
I had no idea that those 'low-9' quotation marks went before the text. I'll have to remember that!
Maybe I'll just stick everything in classes and kern every eventuality just in case.

In English

I think that should read "In American English..."

No, in English English too. There are more exceptions in Britain than America though.

Comma placement also depends on the audience. Hacker types are sensitive to this, since punctuation in the wrong place can foul up a computer manual quite badly. See the Jargon File for more.

Wonderful resource. I shared this with my entire department.

Excellent article!
Very informative, interesting and well presented.
More pairs to add to our test documents :)

I just reviewed a few iKerned fonts, and they seem to cover about 60-70% of this extreme pairs.

The Kerntype game is horrible misinformation.
Here's an example of what the site proposes as good kerning:

You're right, Nick, but you're in the wrong thread.

I was responding to Daniel's mention of http://type.method.ac/
The idea being that there may be a certain amount of serendipitous wandering in a thread, rather than hewing slavishly to the OP's topic.

Oh, you're right, I didn't see it mentioned here too. I thought you had intended it for this other, recent thread. http://typophile.com/node/86189

No, I have missed that thread.
