Kern Questions with Custom Font
WinXP, IDCS3 5.0.3
The company I work for had a font customized for their company exclusively. The font has been used with Ventura & InDesign successfully for about five years. Now we're doing more multilingual work & have found the keyboard layouts for this font were not complete or chars are in wrong positions. Using Fontlab, I've been able to update these accordingly, but having kern issues with spanish punctuation that begins sentences (upside down ! and ?) I'm a fontlab novice, so I simply copied the right side up version of these characters & flipped upside down & pasted characters in correct keyboard layout position. Changed the spacing on left & right side of char., but InDesign seems to still see these chars. as end of sentence characters, leaving extra space after. Is there anything else I need to change in the character settings to help InDesign see these as beginning of sentence characters?
Thanks
Sandy
