API Collection
GSLayer Kerning
Spacing adjustment between specific layers.
Overview
Kerning is stored on the font for a master and writing direction. Layer-level kerning APIs resolve the pair through the layer’s glyph and associated master.
Kerning may come from glyph-specific pairs or kerning groups. A kerning exception stores a glyph-specific pair value where group kerning would otherwise apply.
