Font Kerning

• May 14, 2017 - 00:37

Is there a fix for font kerning in Musescore coming? The text lettering is all over. I use both freeserif fonts in Word and other programs and the kerning is perfect. Other windows fonts have the same issue in Musescore. I'm using Windows 10.
Attached are a couple of samples.

Best regards,

There are some known issues with certain fonts on certain operating systems. See for example #117191: [Windows] Font kerning issue with lyrics in 2.0.3 not present in 2.0.2. One thing to try: sounds like you are using some other version of FreeSerif besides the one that came with MuseScore. Try the one that comes with MuseScore - this requires you to remove the one you have installed for use in other programs. It may work better. or try a different version of the font you do have installed.

Unfortunately most things about font handling are handled for us by the Qt libraries we rely on, so their bugs become our bugs and there is little we can do but wait for them to fix the problems.
