While exploring Aldine and Adobe Kis for French-language typesetting, I noticed a couple of small issues:

• After a capital “L”, the kerning of the apostrophe seems overly tight when followed by certain lowercase vowels such as a, e, or o (actually, in some cases, it appears even tighter than if the apostrophe were not present at all). This can cause unfortunate ambiguities in French, where a phrase like “L’aine” might be visually mistaken for “Laine”—two words with very different meanings.

• In combinations like “fè”, the ascender of the f tends to collide or nearly touch the è. While tight spacing in “fè” is quite typical in old-style typefaces, the proximity here feels unusually close. In French, this happens often (typically “Je préfère”). In italics, the problem is even more serious, with an outright collision (especially with Adobe Kis).

Find enclosed visual examples of those issues.
