Spacing characters with auto-kerning
To use a font's kerning information to space characters, you can select the Auto-Kerning option in the Character palette. Many Roman fonts contain information about the spacing of character pairs. For example, the spacing between an A and a W often is less than the spacing between an A and an F.
You can also choose a specific kerning value, rather than Auto-Kerning, in the Character palette until you finish creating your type. Then select the type and apply auto-kerning to it.
To apply auto-kerning to existing type in a file:
- Choose Select > All.
- In the Character palette, choose Auto from the Kerning
pop-up menu or type Auto in the text box.
To turn auto-kerning off:
Enter 0 in the Kerning text box.
