Kern pair dump script

James Puckett

Does anybody have a Glyphs/Robofont/Fontlab/Indesign script that dumps all the kern pairs in a font to a text file or a text frame? I’m mentoring someone and I would like to be able to just review their kerns without spending an hour reviewing a comprehensive kerning proof.

Can you clarify what you want the text file contents to look like?

James Puckett

All of the kern pairs in a font or selected master, either separated by spaces or line breaks.

I have one for fontlab5 that export the advanced widths and the kerning pairs to txt

Create a temporary copy of your font, flatten the kerning so the script can read it, and run the macro
