No issues, other than the text generated could be nicer looking from a typographical point of view. Kerning manipulates the horizontal positioning of characters, for example it ensures that for "AV" the "V" is moved closer to the "A" than it would normally be so the text looks nicer. > - Why the "no" value on the kerning attribute in userconfig.xml file is not > enough (I tried it does not work) ? I don't know. I've never managed to allocate the time to find out. I was happy enough to have a work-around.
