Kerning can also be applied (I believe) to a technique of adjusting the letter spacing to as a way to achieve full justification, or at least it has a roll in that effort.

Ligatures are, of course related to kerning in the sense of providing a certain 'look' to a page.

Yeah, I remembered that when someone posted about ligatures later. Had my terms mixed up. Sorry about that!
