  • The hook of j no longer pulls its neighbour in. A descender that reaches below the neighbour and far toward it no longer makes a kerning pocket, so pairs like nj, Pj, oj are not kerned tighter when j already has a negative left sidebearing. On nine well-kerned fonts, pairs with j went from 24.8 to 3.8 units off the designers' kerning; the tails of g and y are not affected, and spacing evenness of 50 fonts did not change. Thanks to Typedesigner on TypeDrawers.
  • Experimental option spacing_per_side (correct only the side that is off), off by default: closer to the designers on well-spaced fonts, less even on fonts that need fixing.
