Tiro Typeworks on Nostr: Pondering what might be possible if OpenType Layout kerning classes were defined for ...
Pondering what might be possible if OpenType Layout kerning classes were defined for glyph quadrants instead of sides. So, e.g., ƒ could be in the f class for top left, top right, and lower right quadrants, but in the j class for lower left class. Kerning pairs would, I suppose, need to define the active quadrants.
Hmm. Maybe one of those situations where the solution I imagine for my current headache is more and worse headaches.
