Hi karl, hi texhax,

I have studied a Jan Tschichold booklet, and I have met two who studied 
spacing as graphic designers, and I have just looked again at my copy of 
TUGboat vol. 24 no. 2 [or just www.tug.org/tugboat/], and what did I see?

    TUG BOA T

-- a boat, a snake, and a single letter "T" ...

... is this an /ironical/ hint on TeX's typographical (kerning) excellence?

Please tell me more about spacing/letter-spacing ...

Happy TeXing -- Uwe.

P.S.: explicitly: if "OA" can be that tight, "AT" can be much more ... even 
"BO"
