@dfn{Pairwise kerning} is another subtle typesetting mechanism that
modifies the distance between a glyph pair to improve readability. In
most cases (but not always) the distance is decreased.
modifies the distance between adjacent glyphs in a pair to improve
readability. In most cases (but not always) the distance is decreased.
@iftex
For example, compare the combination of the letters `V' and `A'. With
kerning, `VA' is printed. Without kerning it appears as `V@w{}A'.

Typewriter-like fonts and fonts for terminals where all glyphs have the
same width don't use kerning.
Monospaced (typewriter-like) fonts and terminals don't use kerning.
