I'm working on a connected script font and am trying to limit the kerning as much as possible. To make the characters connect smoothly, what I did was to use the entrance and exit strokes of the "r" and to paste them on the other characters. However, this sometimes creates spacing problems, since some characters are narrower than others. I've tried to change the angle of these entrance and exit strokes, but that doesn't make it any better.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to solve or maybe make it less of a problem?

Otherwise, you set yourself up for the headache of figuring out and deriving all possible accented ligature variations. For example, what I wound up having to do to extend Jessica Hische’s Tilda for Font Bureau:
Even though I was able to script a fair amount of this development (once I researched and narrowed down the reasonably likely combinations), so that in the end it wasn’t too onerous, still, I don’t recommend this approach.
[And that snapshot doesn’t include the .fina variants with shortened exit for several of these.]
