What iKern is? Is a new mathematical model for autokerning. It is a computer program also applying it.
What do I offer? I can compile complete kerning tables for your fonts using iKern.
What does iKern do? Its engine provides correct kerning values for any average distance between glyphs, even for non standard couples and never puts gratuitous wide void spaces.
Its math model carefully considers interaction between uppercase and lowercase characters.
Which is the iKern main feature? Reliability. This is an example using the Fell Great Primer Italic (see my Fell Types Page):
Adobe InDesign's optical kerning does this:
iKern does this, instead:
This is the iKern View Window:
Now some other iKern word exemples:
Judge by yourself: Download and test my iKerned fonts!
Terms and conditions
Contact me for informations and instructions.
I will use an input list of glyphs couples very wide (today we use words from many languages so strange unusual couples are needed too). But any other list however created could be used.
Fonts must be preferably TTF for PC. The kerning will be executed using the iKern default parameters.
But if you want a wider or tighter spacing it can be done.
I will add a comment line in your fonts about iKern and a link to my site you shouldn't remove.
After the job done I will erase your fonts from my HD.
If you want to give feedback or need any info or are interested in buying the iKern source code please Contact me
