Stroke weight is all over the place in the caps, but it's getting there. It's time for me to crawl out of wean and get dinner now.

I think that's kind of what I was aiming for, in hindsight. Well put.

Yeah, I was kind of wondering if you still did research... :-P

I do, but it's all hard to make lj entries about.

you've fixed the spacing issues from hockey is lif, but I feel like some of your letters are too straight, like the y

I have also fixed the spacing issues in Hockey.ttf, thanks to seeing them over over in Jason's weblog. ;)

Were you putting all the real work of spacing in the kerning?

Yes, essentially. I never really saw it in use without kerning, which was pretty dumb.

I don't understand why kerning is so hard for applications to support.

I know that it's easy to not support.

Hmm... I don't feel any issues with the y, but what do you suggest?
