Question

Missing kerning pairs in Adobe Fonts

Wow, I just realised that Adobe fonts don't include the following kerning pairs: Ws, Wz. Those pairs are very common in my language (polish). There are plenty of common words like in polish starting with 'Ws' or 'Wz': 'Wszystko (=everything), Wstać (=to get up), Wschód (=east), Wszędzie (=everywhere), Wsadzić (=to put into), Wzór (=pattern), Wznieść (=to put up), Wzrastać (=to grow up) and many more.

This seems to be a massive oversight from Adobe. If some font support Central Europe glyphs, then it should also support kerning pairs that are typical for those languages.

Even such great font like Minion Pro doesn't support 'Ws', 'Wz'.

How could this be?

    Adobe Arabic and Myriad Hebrew don't appear to have any kerning information at all...
