Kerning Assistance
FontLab has a special dialog box that can simplify the creation of class-
based kerning. Before you start working with it, define some kerning
classes (which have their name preceded by an underscore and one of the
glyphs in the class is selected as a key glyph).
To open the Kerning Assistance dialog box use the Tools > Kerning
Assistance command:
The dialog box has a toolbar at the top, two lists of kerning classes (for left
and right glyphs in the pair) and a sample panel that shows the result of
kerning of the pair.
