Hello!
First of all, thanks a lot for this tool, it's truly amazing

I have a problem with kerning pairs as they seems to doesn't work after I export the font to .ttf

Example:
T and F kerning with minus in the web editor

T and F kerning after exporting the font to .ttf and typing with it:


Again, thanks for your amazing work!

What you see in the preview is the exact font that’ll be exported, rendered by your browser.

What software are you trying to use the font in?

It's true, works fine,  my bad, I'm very sorry I didn't tested it on a proper software, tested it on Adobe Xd because I was working on it

(although it should also work here)

but now I used OpenOffice and works flawlessly

Sorry and thanks for the quick response n.n

Sorry to bring up an old thread but I've been having the same issue. The kerning looks fine in the editor but when I use the exported .ttf file, the kerning doesn't seem to be applying in the windows font previewer or any of the applications I've tried so far (aseprite and notepad). I'm using the latest (I think) offline version of this program

Opening your font in FontForge and re-saving it (File ➜ Generate) seems to make it display normally in Aseprite. FontForge itself displays kerning pairs as intended.

FontForge complains about the font containing both a kerning and a GPOS table, but I am not familiar enough with TTF specification and the underlying generator source to tell you what I should be doing with this information.

That does seem to fix it, thank you!
