get kerning(): number

Examples

Shows how to specify the font size at which kerning begins to take effect.

let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);
builder.font.name = "Arial Black";

// Set the builder's font size, and minimum size at which kerning will take effect.
// The font size falls below the kerning threshold, so the run bellow will not have kerning.
builder.font.size = 18;
builder.font.kerning = 24;

builder.writeln("TALLY. (Kerning not applied)");

// Set the kerning threshold so that the builder's current font size is above it.
// Any text we add from this point will have kerning applied. The spaces between characters
// will be adjusted, normally resulting in a slightly more aesthetically pleasing text run.
builder.font.kerning = 12;

builder.writeln("TALLY. (Kerning applied)");

doc.save(base.artifactsDir + "Font.kerning.docx");
