@@ -7,11 +7,25 @@ This version omits a few ligatures that consistently looked bad on e-ink display
|
||||
## 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:

In particular, **old style 'kern'** is important for compatibility with older devices.
