Fonts & Character Sets ⇒ Custom kerning

[Laurentius]

Was thinking of doing something like

Code: Select all

\XeTeXinterchartoks f ’ {\kern 2pt}

to modify kerning between f and end quote. can it be done? or perhaps there is a better way? I find that in Adobe Caslon Pro the f extends too much to the right for some of the kernings.

This seems to work:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\XeTeXinterchartokenstate=1
\newXeTeXintercharclass\fooA
\newXeTeXintercharclass\fooB
\XeTeXcharclass `\f=\fooA
\XeTeXcharclass `\’=\fooB
\XeTeXinterchartoks \fooA \fooB {\kern 2pt}

\begin{document}

\begingroup
  % disable feature for comparison:
  \XeTeXinterchartokenstate=0
  f’
\endgroup

f’

\end{document}

Thanks again, Clemens. I thought about this but wondered if perhaps there were a simpler way. But this works fine.
