Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0

SUMMARY

Word for Windows uses the pair kerning information that is built into each TrueType font. You cannot customize pair kerning information for a font in Word.

Kerning settings vary from one TrueType font to another, but the following are the most common kerning pairs:


   we              To
   We              ye
   yo              Ye
   Yo              wo

   Vo              va
   wa              Va
   Wa              WA
   Ta              VA
