Really? C'mon. Yes, Jon, i'm sure that I'm using it correctly. Let me ask you this: you kern a font, the way that The Grand Mouse suggests, say, -0.2em.

What happens when you change the font sizes, or change the font? If you go from, say, Garamond to Trebuchet? Given that every bloody font has its own kerning tables, (I'm assuming proper foundry fonts, not the vast ocean of cruft you find online that can't spell "kerning," must less set it up for a font), etc. how can that possibly work, across fonts?

Seriously, I'm not arguing. If that can work, groovy. But how?
