Reply To: Accessing a font's kerning table/values?

It is a plain text file, so you can open it with any plain text editor. Its syntax is deliberately kept as simple as possible: first, some general font information, followed by the exact metrics of each separate character, and then the list of kern pairs follow. All sections are clearly marked.

The hardest part is finding an .AFM file for your font in the first place. They are for the precursor of modern, self containing OpenType fonts: separate ‘outline’ files in .PFB format. I am only guessing .AFM files should still be available for modern fonts, because there is still a lot of legacy software that can’t use OTF fonts right away.
