### Kern

Modern fonts usually have a built-in kerning which places characters side-by-side at an esthetical optimum.

Use Default

  Use this function to reset the kerning of selected text to its default, built-in values. Note the interleaving parts of the capital A in our example.

Use None

  Use this function to ignore all kerning of selected text. Note that characters in most fonts will be placed really side-by-side, as was usual with old foundry-type composition characters.

Tighten

  Use this function (or the more handy keyboard shortcut) to tighten the current kerning of selected text. You will still want to keep readability of the text in mind.

Loosen

  Use this function (or the more handy keyboard shortcut) to loosen the current kerning of selected text. You will still want to keep readability of the text in mind.
