    Is there an expression that will find any italic letter, followed by a roman paren? Many of these combinations crash into each other, and require manually kerning to fix. Standard search finds all instances, whether roman or italic. Tedious, would be half as tedious with a more rigorous search.

    Posted this in the general forum but had no replies, hoping for better luck here.

    thanks!

    No answer because I think there is no answer. :-(

    Good question. I’ve been using a script I wrote for some time now to help find colliding pairs. More details and the script itself here:
