In these cases, you can manually adjust kerning by following these steps: For instance, you might want to create some special effect for the characters.

Kerning is a typographical term describing the process of moving letters closer together, in an effort to overcome the illusion of too much space between letters. This problem normally appears when the left character in a pair has a stroke (a line) that travels diagonally from left to right. Depending on the characters, this can cause an illusion that two characters are spaced too far apart, when in reality they follow the standard spacing conventions for the typeface. Unfortunately, not all characters appear the same width when read on a printed page. This spacing determines how close adjacent characters are to each other. When a font is designed, a certain amount of space is designated for inter-character spacing.
