Kerning the space
between letters
Kerning adjusts the space between two
adjacent letters, making text more visually
appealing and easier to read. You can kern
text segments visually by clicking and
dragging on the letter you want to adjust,
helping you create lettering that looks
balanced and evenly spaced. You can also
adjust the kerning by entering any number of
kerning marks in the Text box. One mark
represents 1/20th of the letter M's width.
