WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS

Problem

Symptoms: The customer was unable to increase the kerning between the lowercase f and the space or the lowercase f and the lowercase l. Solutions: Certain character combinations such as fl and fi are set up as ligatures. These can be found in WordPerfect Character set 4. If a ligature exists for a letter combination pair, then the ligature will be used. For this particular pair, this is what was happening. With other characters, the correct method to increase or decrease the spacing in between letter pairs is to edit the kerning tables. The customer had done this, however, he could not see a difference because kerning had not been turned on in the document. (This is done by pressing Shift-F8, 4, 6, 1). Once the user had turned kerning on, the kerning values that he had entered took effect in those letter combinations that were not ligatures.
