I work on a typeface, so far I’ve drawn the extreme font (ultra thin, light and Ultra) in roman and italic. I’ve also done the spacing, feature and kerning on the roman one. I know that I can import the feature from a font to an other and that works well. What I tried is to use my kerning from my light italic to become my basic one for my ultra thin and ultra. Can I do that, if so how?
Thanks in advance.

Kerning importing is simple in Fontlab, just export an AFM file and import it into the new one. Unfortunately it is buggy and kerns do not always copy. There is an old Typophile thread about this, but it is no longer accessible. IIRC Karsten Lucke wrote someone a script to do this, you could ask him about it.
And if you know Python it should be simple to do this with Robofab.
To Jan: Is there a Find/Change button to do this action?
Thanks
