FontLab - Kerning Classes HD

In this tutorial I'll be explaining Kerning Classes in FontLab. Kerning Classes will save you a LOT of work when you're going to kern your entire font. The cool thing about this is, that you can group all the characters that have a similar shapes (o, e, c and a maybe) and then kern them all at the same time next to a capital T for example. In other words: all the letters in a kerning class will automatically take on each others kerning values.

Goddamit'! About half a life I was dreamed to learn all these kerning features to make my characters not jumping around the line! I love to make cyrillization of fonts, but their quality often was average because of kerning pairs WHICH I CAN NOW FIX!
Thanks a lot! MAN, I LOVE YOU! :D

Need to add Polish characters to an existing typeface. All Polish characters use the existing characters with added strokes. What is the best way to copy existing characters and add the strokes to create a new character with an assigned keystroke. Your stuff is hugely helpful. Nice stuff.

It doesn't seem that numbers or symbols can be placed into kerning classes. Is that the case or am I missing something?

[@Mrkoto2012]

I have created some glyphs with the trial version but they are unable to be used with other fonts. Why? Is it because I didn't buy the program?

Hi,
I want to ask something about how to save my master kerning, so I can upload my master kerning to the other fontlab file?
note: I have two files include, Solid sans serif and Outline sans serif

[@TienHoanginh]

[@NateGalloway]

How can I kern all letters at once? I have a font the is pretty much uniform, so all letters will have the same kerning.

[@TEFilms]

Thanks for this :)

[@411v]

That's a great tutorial! Can you please answer my questions.
How can I create a right-to-left font, such as a hebrew font (using FontLab)?
Can it be done in FontCreator (the right-to-left font)?

Hello, i have a question, I made class like u - "o´ a c e" i set up kerning, it shows for every letter ( o a c e) but when i wrote them, kerning is applied just to the "o", what am i doing wrong ?

[@TheZikkyOne]

make sure you type in the apostrophe: ' , and not this: ´

[@naanaasdesigns7262]

Than you so much!

Thank's a lot.

[@holarodrygo]

How can I erase all the pairs that I made before viewing this tutorial? :p

[@nippadj]

These videos are great. I would've stopped using Fontlab by know, if you hadn't uploaded them.
I still can't get my classes to work though. Nothing happens after I click the ACCEPT button. No code, no letters, no classes. Any suggestions/ solutions anyone? I'm on MAC using Fontlab Studio5.

[@lukabajic3122]

I need to know how to do this for FontLab 3

[@WilsonSemilio]

By watching other tutorials I think :-)

[@Keyop68]

Iam on Font lab VI and the interface is not the same so this doesn’t work. Any advice?

[@coolhand1966]

Good tutorial but you didn't explain Class Kerning with Exceptions.
