Neither InDesign nor FontLab knows anything about these being "end of sentence" or "beginning of sentence" glyphs. If you've fixed the spacing, the problem must be that when you made the glyphs, you copied them from existing glyphs, and the kerning came with the copy operation. In the FontLab preferences (Tools > Options > Font Window) there's a setting for "kerning information is copied with the glyph." You could turn that off, go to the Font Window, copy the problem glyph, delete it in the FONT WINDOW so as to clear the kerning, and then paste it back into its cell. I imagine that would fix the problem. Cheers, T
