Tracking and kerning should be left out of this this discussion, since they 
should play no role in H&J -- justification should involve only adjustments to 
the spaces between words and, of course, the choice of suitable break points. 
Tracking increases or decreases the space between a range of characters, and 
should be used exclusively in headers and the like. Kerning adjusts the spaces 
between characters that sit awkwardly together, and once fixed for a particular 
font should never be adjusted for H&J.
