The spacing between letters is calculated
automatically as a percentage of letter height. In
most cases the default spacing is adequate.
Sometimes, however, the spacing between certain
letters may appear too large or too small,
depending on the shape of neighboring letters. To
compensate for this visual effect, you can move
one or several selected letters closer or further
apart along the baseline to improve spacing. See
