Hello, I am kerning Latin serif font for first time and I am unable to judge the spacing between various letters. I ended up doing some over-kerned pair or some under-kerned pair. I want reference font and any material to learn judging the space between varied shape letters. Also, I want a proof of various words that contain most of the pairs. Also, how I can start the kerning process or approach the kerning?
P.S. I am using FL7
Thank you.

Really, really, really certain.
One of the most common problems even experienced type designers hit, is starting to kern too soon. Doing the opposite is quite rare, in comparison.

Get these looking balanced using only side bearings and then apply those "straight" and "round" values to similar details in the design.
And remember to think about the space between letters as "volume" and not so much as "distance".
