My father-in-law just gave me his Leeroy k&e lettering set that he bought in the early 70s. It is a very interesting way of drawing perfect letters and I can't wait to try it out!
Re digital kerning: what you are talking about are known as 'kerning pairs' and there can be a lot of them defined for a high-quality proportional typeface.

I built a dictionary app even with more than and300 apps available at AppStore
Great work
I'm working on similar dictionary app and found wiktionary insanely usable as dictionary source.
Here is one more project aiming to make wiktionary data usable as json data structure: https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract.
It has a link to a site https://kaikki.org/ which hosts dictionary data dumps.

Dynamically generating minimal pair decks for Anki
Hm, that would be a good idea... if I didn't have to download so much data (over 20GB for just audio?!). But, looking at the Python library that processed those dumps (https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract), which is more manageable, using it would involve getting the WikiMedia dump file for every word on the list, then parsing them for the relevant data and what follows is mostly the same, except I end up with a bunch of cached files.
