Fonts are not refreshed when right sided metrics are changed
This issue happens in the context of editing the metrics of a font file multiple times (in order to view new metrics changes in realtime).
Fonts will not always be refreshed to the latest version when overwriting a font file in the Adobe Fonts folder with a new updated version:
When a right sidebearing of a glyph is changed and the font regenerated, the font is NOT updated in Illustrator.
Whereas editing a left side bearing and regenerating the font will show the updated font with all edited metrics (both the new left & right sidebearings).
Issue happens in all CC versions, including CC 2020 24.1

Hi there.
I have the same bug using Fonstelf in Illustrator CC 24.3 on Mac OS 10.14.6 with kerning options :
When I change the kerning setting of a letter and click the "Install" button of the Fontself extension, the font is not updated in illustrator. -
Thanks Ankit, just sent the details for replication. 🙏👋
