JustText also supports track and manual kerning. Track kerning, which controls the amount of space between all letters in a block of text, can radically alter the readability of a block of text. While the decisions made by the original typographer are probably the right ones, particular users may want to add space for their own purposes. JustText also offers a manual kerning facility that allows the user to take out space between a particular pair of letters based on the final appearance of the work.  3, record 8, English, - manual%20kerning
