Hello. I'm trying to generate a TT-flavored font from the OTF, but I can't seem to make kerning work, whether using TypeTool or FontForge. The generated TTF is otherwise fine from either app, kerning correctly in LaTeX, but nowhere else. I've tried expanding the kerning classes with enum everywhere, but that doesn't work either. Is there a way to automagically convert from feature to table? I guess I could sprinkle "enum" everywhere, generate an intermediary font, examine the expanded kern feature, then search and replace, and so forth, but this is the sort of tedious task that should be automated.

Anyhoo, my enum/intermediary font idea more or less works, except that I can't kern with periods or commas; I think it's a matter of too many pairs. Does anybody know how many kerning pairs TTF allows?
Long explanation: A kern table can store 10920 pairs per subtable, but all subtables except the first one are ignored in all known environments. Mac OS X even reports fonts with too many subtables as defective.
