Kerning is handled by the application that creates the PDF. That is why when you bring a PDF file into Adobe Illustrator that was created in InDesign or Quark you will see the text line is broken into many smaller text blocks (if the kerning was done by hand). Having done kerning tables for ITC in my past life, you may have to update the TTF font with the kerning you want as the actual pairs may not exist and you are use to seeing "auto Kern" (i hate auto kern). You many want to use FontForge (fontforge.sourceforge.net) or another font editor to view the existing kerning tables. Most fonts ship with a pitiful kerning table. I used to use Fontographer, but it is no longer supported last update 2006, but the company has its FontLab product or a basic font editor you may want to look into (http://www.fontlab.com/font-editor/)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
