Hey Twitter, Recently, I decided to continue the work of Andre Fuchs on The Ultimate List of Kerning Pairs. He did some very interesting and smart research/analysis for Latin script, but only for Latin. 1/4

I have written a small Python script using fonttools to remove all outlines from a font file but keep all other data. This way, you can safely send me your fonts if you wish to collaborate. DM if your are interested :) 4/4

Therefore, I'm writing this post to ask Cyrillic/Greek type designers/foundries if they would like to collaborate with me to improve the input data. I'm looking for fonts that support the standard (extended is better) glyph sets for each script. 3/4

@hhpapazian I planned to contact a native for each script, and you were on my list. I will send you an e-mail next week with more information.

Building tools to analyse glyphs outlines is something really satisfying 🤖🪄

I'm thinking about learning to design Cyrillic Script. I coded a DrawBot script to compare Latin and Cyrillic Forms and show outlines and widths diffs. Do you think an approach like this could be useful ?

Adding more references from Google Fonts, and an average value of width diff.

It is more convenient to compare different fonts on the same page for each pair comparison.

@HugoJourdan_ One more thing. I believe for the research like this, it’s important to carefully pick the source data. I recommend picking the typefaces that were made by experts in Cyrillic, like @contrastfoundry and @TypeTodayNews.
