New word to me: kerning. It means adjusting the space between characters in a proportional font. If it's not done, well....

Wasn't expecting that!

As an English major and graphic artist responsible for labels, I NEVER use kerning for just such reasons!

Many moons ago, before cable TV, there was a midnight old movie show on TV and their trademark screen was sort of a handwritten plain black and white thing where the letter spacing was not exactly right on. It was" MIDNIGHT FLICK". Caught people by suprise more than once or twice

I've seen issues with a certain Mr Eastwood's name from time to time...

Several years back, I hand-wrote an order for a customer in Clintwood, VA. I have very neat handwriting, but the company's data entry person nevertheless made the same mistake, and that's how the order was printed. Fortunately, I caught the error prior to shipping.
The town of Clintwood, FYI, is located in Dickerson County.
