Opentype kern features not working especially kern between base letter and alternate letter
Technical info/summary
I'm a font creator that being testing my font then I realize that something some trouble with the kern features in Inkscape 1.0.0.
I use Inkscape 1.0.0, the kerning (kern) font that I installed is not working with the ppa, but is with the appimage
For sure this issue I've tried in other software designs such as photoshop and the kern is working perfectly too.
That is a bug or there are special settings for the kerning(kern).
I attachment my sample font for testing TLM1.otf
Screenshots depict normal text in black, kerning between base letter and alternate letter in red.
ppa | appimage |
---|---|
Steps to replicate
- install font (TLM1.otf)
- Open https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/uploads/c7d774ba9a09d61526b8824e3fbfadd4/appimage.svg
What happened?
- L and T in the red text doesn't appear to be kerned properly
What should have happened?
- L and T in the red and black ALTERNATE text should align (as they do in the 1.0 appimage)
ppa/flatpak | appimage (expected behavior) |
---|---|
Inkscape version
- Inkscape 1.0 from ppa, Linux Mint 20,
- Inkscape 1.0.2 (e86c8708, 2021-01-15) flatpak Linux Mint 20
