Description

In the Regular style, there seems to be a bigger gap between these letters in the kerning classes than may have been intended (fontforge lists a kern offset of 70 for `l k` and `l h`). I think this may be an error, as the kerning for the `l l` pair is set to 0 and looks normal, while all three pairs share the same shape. See the image below.

Kerning issue between `l k` (also present with the `l h` pair):

Normal kerning with `l l`:

There are several broken kerning pairs involving `l` (plus related glyphs with diacritics) and `b` which should also be deleted/zero'd out:

- `l b`
- `lacute(ĺ) b`
- `uni013C(ļ) b`
- `lslash(ł) b`
