Than you for explanation! But, is it possible to activate kerning for MinionPro?
And what about the following example?

\startbuffer[KernTest]
  \startlines
    Tänze,
    Tanze,
    Väter,
    Vater,
  \stoplines
\stopbuffer

The kerned „Väter“ can't be right (with MinionPro).

Here the blue (= base mode) actually looks correct, but that just means that mkiv needs a patch: the base kerns are also generated by the mkiv
font loader, after all. It probably got confused by the kerning classes.

I expect that it actually did work earlier (pre 0.31), and that what you
see now is just a regression. But it is better for me to wait for Hans'
comment than to dive into the code  and maybe spend hours on a problem
that would take him 10 seconds.

Best wishes,
Taco
