No Kerning With Adobe Type Manager (ATM) Fonts |
Q111698
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, version 6.0
SYMPTOMS
Adobe Type 1 fonts [installed either as soft fonts or via Adobe Type Manager (ATM) version 2.5] do not print kerned in Word for Windows.
CAUSE
ATM fonts use a Windows 3.0 printer escape call for kerning that is not supported in Word 6.0, so ATM fonts do not print kerned. Word 6.0 bases kerning on the API for Windows 3.1 and later.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows. This problem was corrected in versions 6.0a and later of Word for Windows.
Word 6.0a and later support the API for both Windows 3.0 and 3.1 for the kerning of Adobe Type 1 fonts.
