Most fonts have an associated kerning table. Such a table contains many two letter combinations that may occur in the associated language. With each pair is an associated plus/minus increment to apply when this pair is printed.

As I understand it, there are no strict algorithms for determining the value of these 'kerns', rather they are determined by esthetic judgement.

It would be good if someone familiar with printing could establish a kerning table for the typical metal letter stamp set. Shouldn't be too much trouble since most of these sets contain only capital letters. This forum would be the perfect place to publicize such a table.
