You have created a lettering object which has Auto Kerning toggled on. Use this procedure to update kerning settings for contiguous pairs of letters.
To edit kerning values...
- Select a lettering object with automatic kerning and click the Reshape icon.
Click the diamond control point in the center of the letter.
Drag selected letter/s along the baseline or use arrow keys to adjust the spacing. Alternatively, to move multiple letters, right-click the diamond control point of the first letter and drag. All letters to the end of the line move as one.
Repeat as many times as necessary to fine-tune all letter spacings in the object.
Select one or more blocks of contiguous letters by Ctrl-clicking their diamond control points or dragging a selection box around them.
Select Object > Update Kerning Settings. The operation will affect letter spacing of all new lettering objects.
Click OK.
A new kerning value is generated for each contiguous pair of letters, and written to the associated kerning table.
