- Definition(s)
- Kerning refers to the horizontal space between individual pairs of letters (a kerning pair). Fonts that are properly kerned appear evenly spaced without large open gaps of white space between characters. FontShop USA
- Example sentence(s)
- Optical kerning adjusts the spacing between adjacent characters based on their shapes. Some fonts include robust kern-pair specifications. However, when a font includes only minimal built-in kerning or none at all, or if you use two different typefaces or sizes in one or more words on a line, you may want to use the optical kerning option. - Adobe.com by
- In the digital typefaces used today, the space between letters is controlled by a table of kerning pairs, which specify spaces between different letter combinations. - Princeton Architectural Press by
- The amount of empty space between letter pairs 'wants' to be equal, and that's the goal of hand kerning your type. Your mind reads the words your eyes see. When there is visual and spatial continuity between all the objects (letters) it's easier to read, the better things look, and the more you can concentrate on the meaning of the words, rather than the minute 'visual hitches' that are created by poor kerning. - coolhomepages.com - Tim Donahue by

- Definition(s)
- Espaciado predefinido y modificable que se aplica a los caracteres de un tipo determinado, por pares. Es decir, el espacio que se predefine entre cada par de caracteres (por ejemplo, entre A y V, entre a y v, entre P y o, etcétera). En la actualidad, las fuentes tipográficas disponen de una tabla de valores que define esos pares de kerning, pero también se pueden modificar a placer en los programas de autoedición.

- El kerning métrico utiliza pares de kerning incluidos en la mayoría de las fuentes. Los pares de kerning contienen información sobre el espaciado de pares - Adobe by Darío Giménez
- A través de ésta, podemos modificar (ésto implicar crear también) pares de kerning de cualquier fuente que tengamos activada en el sistema. - Unos Tipos Duros by Darío Giménez
- Pares de kerning habituales son "AV", "va" y "kv", por ejemplo. Un buen kerning es esencial en una fuente tipográfica bien diseñada. - Glosario Gráfico by Darío Giménez

- Definition(s)
- Protarpio sumažinimas tarp gretimų raidžių atsižvelgiant į tų raidžių formą. Pavyzdžiui, suglaudinant galima gerokai sumažinti tarpą tarp raidžių A ir V, kadangi raidė A plati apačioje, o V – viršuje. LR Terminų bankas - by Kristina Radziulyte

- Naudotojai, vos paleidę naująją „OpenOffice.org“ versiją, pastebės dailiau atvaizduojamus šriftus. Taip yra dėl automatiškai įjungiamos rašmenų sanglaudos – protarpio sumažinimo tarp raidžių, taip pagerinant įvairiapločiu šriftu užrašyto teksto vaizdavimą. - mokslasplius.lt by Kristina Radziulyte
