Just to add to my previous message:

One more bug: When kerning through the metrics windows, when a pair occurs
more than once in the current string, it kerns to the wrong distance when
you grab and slide the kerning line.

One more feature request: If we could have a layer where we could draw
curves as kerning delimiters, or if the side bearings could be curves
instead of straight vertical lines, this information could be used to
automatically kern the font if it is translated to kerning distances when
we generate the font. We would draw the curves for the side bearings after
we finish drawing the glyph, and when we finish drawing all the glyphs we
would automatically have all the information needed to generate all the
font's kerning automatically, as, in text, the following glyph would be
placed in a distance where its left side bearing curve would be touching
the previous glyph's right side bearing curve.
