 ## How was this made?
 
 - A few ligatures were removed, namely: `ff`, `ffi`, `ffl`, `fl`, `fi`.
-- A tweak was made to ensure the `fi` kern pair looks good now that the ligature is gone.
+- Some minor tweaks to kern pairs were made to tighten up the look and feel of the font.
 - Improved line height metrics were set (updated ascent/descent metrics).
 - The font was renamed and re-exported with [FontForge](https://fontforge.org).
 - The copyright notice has been updated to reflect the new name.
 
+### Kern pair changes
+
+I've included a file called [kern.md](./doc/kern.md) in this repository. I've checked and improved kern pairs to ensure these particular sentences look fine; they include often tweaked kern pairs.
+
+### Export settings
+
+Make sure to check the following items when exporting as TTF:
+
+![Take a look at this screenshot.](./doc/export.png)
+
+In particular, **old style 'kern'** is important for compatibility with older devices.
+
+### Source files
+
 I've included the FontForge files in this repository.
