It depends: if you fill out the field without flattening, then an 
appearance is created automatically. Kerning isn't used, not in the 
appearance, not when the end user changes the text field manually.

If you want to flatten the field, then setField() won't result in kerned 
characters. You can work around this, by getting the field positions (as 
is done in chapter 8) and adding the content with the 
showTextAlignedKerned() method.

> 2) How is tracking done?

Kerning is done automatically, based on the info found in the font. 
Tracking isn't done automatically. If you position the text using the 
methods of chapter 14 (text state), you'll have to do the math, and use 
the methods that allow you to fine tune the word and character spacing. 
Or you can use Text Arrays (arrays consisting of strings and numbers. 
The numbers are measurements for the space between the strings). All 
these methods are listed in chapter 14.
