Font rejected due to Kerning/Spacing Problems - need further explanation please

Dear guys from DaFont,
my latest font was rejected due to Kerning/Spacing Problems.
I tried long to fix it, and fixed it so far as the kerning works on all programs on my PC and Mac.
But again after the latest upload I received the same mail.
I read a lot in this forum and saw that you gave some people some further explanation on this problem with their fonts.
I realy would love to publish my new font here and I hope you can help me.

thanks a lot in advance

Hi,

I guess you're talking about your font Reduza Infinity? It really needs more kerning or at least better spacing, because there is a lot of space between some pairs - like "Re" or "uz". If you have set your kerning/spacing correctly, there could be an export issue.

If you need to learn more about kerning and spacing, here is a very helpful link: http://designwithfontforge.com/en-US/Spacing_Metrics_and_Kerning.html

I quickly checked your font and it seems to be much better. It will be fully reviewed as soon as possible.

On a side note you would really benefit from learning what spacing is. Especially with basic serif and sans serif fonts. Kerning is one thing but applying proper spacing to your font can save you a tremendous amount of kerning.

Yes you're right about spacing.
I missed it in this font, but I'll do it in the next one.
Also I'm thinking about using kerning classes then.
Thanks a lot for the advice.
