VTT size run and narrow glyphs

I’m using VTT to work with a font that has lots of narrow and zero-width characters. These glyphs overlap in size run, which makes it impossible to view the glyph at size. Can I space them out? If not how do I preview the hinting in VTT?

    you can temporality change the advance width, and this will allow you view in a size run. Always dangerous, but if you remember to change it back to zero this should work.

    this can be changed in Edit Menu > Edit Metrics, or ctrl m on Windows.
