Fuji-san,

For now we are just putting everything into the ‘kern’ like any other Adobe-Japan1 fonts, just hoping that smart text layout engines would handle this situation. I understand that’s exactly what Nat-san’s proposal is intended to clarify, and from a more practical standpoint, I really hope to see more clients become aware of such current ‘kern’ implementation, independently from the ‘apkn’ solution.

I completely agree, and also think that the clarification that Nat made is essentially important.

Best,
