Kerning is the process of adjusting the spacing between characters in a proportional font, usually to achieve a visually pleasing result. Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters. In a well-kerned font, the two-dimensional blank spaces between each pair of characters all have a visually similar area.
•Use the slider to adjust Kerning or check the box to Auto Kerning. |

1.The text curves will be created along the curve in oriented to the current view. 2.After the text is created, the curves can be independently manipulated. 3.The text to appear is typed into the box. It will appear in the box in the selected font, bold, and italic applied. Changes in size do not appear in the text in the box but do take effect when the text is actually created.
 4.Hanging text has the top of the letters on the curve; whereas, the default is the bottom of the letters are on the curve.
 5.Flip text flips each individual letter while keeping the sequence of letters the same.
 6.The plane of the text is the viewing plane of the currently selected view. It doesn’t have to be a construction plane. |
