Set spacing, alignment, and orientation
The spacing between pairs of characters is called kerning. At times, you may want to adjust the kerning to make the
text more pleasing to the eye or to make a line of text take up more or less space.
The spacing between lines of text is called leading. At times, you may want to adjust the leading to make a block of text
more pleasing to the eye, or to make it take up more or less space on the screen.
