What you need to enable is "Kerning".<br />
Kerning is part of the typesetting process, where the space between<br />
letters is adjusted to the appearance of the letter and its neighbour. For example, when a <tt>V</tt> is followed by an <tt>A</tt>, the shape of the letters would result in a little too much space between them, and this just doesn't look nice. The <tt>A</tt> should be moved a little towards the <tt>V</tt>.<br />
<br />
This text is not kerned:<br />
<br>[[Image:lvat1.jpg]]<br />
<br>As you can see, the space between the letters is just too wide.<br />
This text is kerned:<br />
<br>[[Image:lvat2.jpg]]<br />
<br />
So how do you enable kerning?<br />
<br />
If you need kerning only for selected parts of your text, follow these steps:<br />
<br />
*Highlight the passages of your text for which kerning needs to be enabled.<br />
*'''Now > Format > Character > Position > Spacing''', here check box '''pair kerning'''.<br />
<br />
If you need the whole text to be "kerned", follow here<br />
<br />
* Press '''F11''' to open the stylist.<br />
* Click on paragraph styles icon to open the list of paragraph styles.<br />
* Right-click on each paragraph styles that's being used '''> Modify'''.<br />
* '''Now > Position > Spacing''', here check box '''pair kerning'''.<br />
<br />
Note that kerning is controlled by information in the font data<br />
(in particular the font metrics). Fonts that do not need such precise corrections, like fixed width fonts, will not be subject to kerning.<br />
