That is can I select a piece of text >(part of a word, part of a sentence, etc.) and ask Frame to "tighten it up", >a little, a lot, or whatever? Frame has excellent kerning control. There are keyboard shortcuts for really tiny movements, but in general I have found the Point Spread item in the Fonts requestor to be sufficient. Here's how it works: 1. Highlight the text whose spacing you wish to alter (can be as little as one character). 2. Bring up the Fonts requestor, either through the menu or with ESC-f. 3. Click in the Point Spread entry field. 4. Enter your desired point spread. The point spread is an offset applied to inter-character spacing in the selected region. It can be positive (letters spaced more widely), negative (tightened up), or zero (default spacing). I don't know if you can use fractional amounts, since integral spacing adjustments have been sufficient for my needs to date.
