kerning pairs of letters to improve their appearance. When a {font} is created, each {character} is given a width that includes some space around it so that the letters don't run into each other when displayed or printed. This can be thought of as an invisible box around each character. Some pairs of characters such as A and V, look better if the boxes overlap slightly, bringing the characters closer together (but still not touching). See also {tracking}, {leading}.
