FontLab - Kerning Classes HD

In this tutorial I'll be explaining Kerning Classes in FontLab. Kerning Classes will save you a LOT of work when you're going to kern your entire font. The cool thing about this is, that you can group all the characters that have a similar shapes (o, e, c and a maybe) and then kern them all at the same time next to a capital T for example. In other words: all the letters in a kerning class will automatically take on each others kerning values.

Thanks, great tutorial!

These videos are great. I would've stopped using Fontlab by know, if you hadn't uploaded them.

I still can't get my classes to work though. Nothing happens after I click the ACCEPT button. No code, no letters, no classes. Any suggestions/ solutions anyone? I'm on MAC using Fontlab Studio5.

How can I kern all letters at once? I have a font the is pretty much uniform, so all letters will have the same kerning.

It doesn't seem that numbers or symbols can be placed into kerning classes. Is that the case or am I missing something?

That's a great tutorial! Can you please answer my questions.

How can I create a right-to-left font, such as a hebrew font (using FontLab)?

Can it be done in FontCreator (the right-to-left font)?
