2 professional designer: Kerning != Letter Spacing

Posted by: Anonymous Coward on September 26, 2005 08:04 AM

Argh. This makes me soooooo mad. "I'we done professional design" even I have no clue about typography terms ! WTF ?

Compare:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_spacing" title="wikipedia.org">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_spacing</a wikipedia.org>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning" title="wikipedia.org">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning</a wikipedia.org>

BOTH terms are well-established, BOTH are used in typograhy, BOTH are supported by Inkscape and THEY ARE NOT EQUAL!

If you do not know typography terms it's not a reason to badmouth Inkscape - rather it's cause to visit Wikipedia.
