Question

Strange (?) spacing in polytonic greek

Hello, I wanted to inquire about a seemingly weird behavior of Minion 3 / Minion Pro when they are used to typeset polytonic Greek. Please look at the image attached below.

Clearly, the space before Ἕ, Ἵ, Ὕ, Ἔ, Ἴ, and Ὑ appears too narrow. Please compare it with the results from Garamond Premier Pro:

The results from Arno Pro are satisfactory, but Minion Pro also exhibits the same narrow spacing. Is this narrow spacing intentional by the designer of Minion 3 / Minion Pro, or is it an error? Thank you.

Hi @wooseokk24259630,

 

We're sorry for the delay. As per our product team, you need to disable kerning for the combinations for the program you're using. 

 

You can visit this article- https://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/using/kerning-tracking.html , and for other apps, you can google on how to change the kerning for that specific app.

 

Regards,

Tarun

Dear Tarun, 

 

Thanks. I can then create a workaround. It seems you’re saying, according to the product team, that this is normal behavior when the kerning feature is enabled, correct? Thank you again.

 

Best,

Wooseok
