Hey everyone,
I'm working on a Hebrew font in Glyphr Studio, but I'm running into issues with kerning right-to-left (RTL) text. It seems like the kerning adjustments aren't applying correctly, or the pairs aren't behaving as expected.
Has anyone successfully kerned Hebrew (or other RTL languages) in Glyphr Studio? Are there any workarounds or best practices for getting it to work properly?
Any help or insights would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
I don't think any RTL is supported in Glyphr. I tried making an Arabic font, but it doesn't work at all.
it's really unfortunate. I'm using Inkscapes Font SVG Editor tool (it's free and open source) to design the characters. Unfortunately, Inkscape doesn’t support kerning for RTL letters, so My plan was to use Glyphr for kerning adjustments and then export as an .otf file, but that hasn't worked out as expected. Maybe Inkscape can still help with your project in some way!
Hello! Apologies for missing this question - yes, RTL Kerning is not supported in Glyphr Studio. RTL *in general* is not supported.
I've never tried it, but I may suggest Font Forge to help you add Kerning data. It's probably the most powerful Open Source / Free font editor, although it can have a bit of a steep learning curve at times.
