How many kerning pair do you adjust?

#1

Recently I just created my first font with Fontself, I almost end up with 3000+ Kerning pairs. Is that normal? I adjusted spacing carefully before the kerning part. But I would like to make sure is it average? Can you guys share your kerning experience please?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Shemul

So I don’t have enough experience with kerning advanced fonts to answer :sweat:

@franz & @Mohamed have more experience about that topic :slight_smile:

No, 3000 pairs isn’t really much.
If you have a huge character set and if you do your work accurate,
you may end up with even more pairs.

See this enlarged screenshot of my recent project.
