Thanks for the update, I installed it as requested, in

From the README:
Print tables and generate mtx files that help to adjust kernings
This class makes it easy to generate tables that show many different kerning pairs of an arbitrary font, usable by LaTeX. It shows the kerning values that are used by the the font by default.
In addition, this class enables the user to alternate the kernings and to observe the results. Kerning pairs can be defined for groups of similar glyphs at once. Automatically, an mtx file is generated that can be loaded by fontinst to introduce the user-made kernings into the virtual font for LaTeX.
From the ChangeLog:
v1.32 2004/04/13 Harald Harders (h.harders@tu-bs.de) - Direct access on glyph names instead of parsing getpsname. - Speed up writemtxkern, defglyphclass, ifglyphinclass, and @ifglyphinclass (in total, app. factor 20). - Allow to set relative kerning widths in glyph classes. - Do not scale Helvetica by default because this breaks testing Helvetica.
v1.31 2004/04/13 Harald Harders (h.harders@tu-bs.de) - Use setleftkerning and setrightkerning instead of writing every kerning pair.
v1.30 2004/04/12 Harald Harders (h.harders@tu-bs.de) - Add encodings OT1, T2A, T2B, and LY1. - Template for OT1 encoding. - Parameter-dependent encodings (for example with or without ligatures). - New option designsize for giving the design size of the font explicitely.
v1.11 2004/04/06 Harald Harders (h.harders@tu-bs.de) - Allow to give glyphs by number (decimal, hex, octal) or by PostScript name. - Write glyph name to table. - Find and complain inconsistent kerning data. - Introduce glyph classes to set the kerning for similar glyph shapes by once. - Reduce left margin.
Yours Harald
