Kerning a Vectored Font

How to Kern a Vectored Font

First, type a word that needs to be vectored. Copy and paste that word. Pick the 2nd word, then go to Type/Create Outlines. The 2nd word is fully vectored. It is also by default, grouped. Select it and copy it, paste it into the 3rd position. That one should be ungrouped. As you can see by the 3rd word down, now any single letter can be selected. Copy it once again, paste it below as the 4th word. That fourth word will now be vectored. Each letter can be selected and moved by using the arrow keys on your keyboard. This will keep the letters perfectly aligned. Move them as needed to have a nicely kerned group of words.
