A script to quickly copy specific kerns between fonts. A bit kludgy... be sure to use Git to know what’s happening to your fonts!

| A script to run on UFO files from a command line. Go through a pair list and | |
| copy kerns from one UFO to one other UFO, if those kern pairs are in the pair list. | |
| What happens: | |
| - copy groups from ufoToCopyFrom to ufoToCopyTo | |
| - for each pair in the pair list, copy kern from ufoToCopyFrom to ufoToCopyTo | |

| Here’s a snippet to determine how much horizontal shift a point should get in an italic glyph. | |
| In practical terms, I have just used this to shift anchors in a UFO font source, in order to prepare an oblique font. | |
| Basically, how can we determine "x" below, given a height ("y") and an angle (italicAngle)? | |

| Find kerning exceptions in a UFO, then remove those kerns and replace them with kerns using groups. | |
| Why? | |
| Sometimes, if you add kerning to a font early, you can wind up with unexpected kerning exceptions | |
| when you add new characters to the font. E.g. ('G', 'asterisk') makes sense until you add 'Gbreve'. | |
| USAGE: | |
| Configure side1_ignore & side2_ignore lists below, then run this script in RoboFont. | |
| - It won’t autosave your UFOs, because you should probably review the results before saving. |
