Definitions of 'Glyph' and 'Kerning'

Glyph

A glyph is where a symbol is used to represent a letter, for example the '@' can be used as an 'a' or a '©' for the letter 'c'.

Another definition of a glyph is derived from hieroglyphics, where the ancient egyptians used to write using symbols.

 

Kerning

  Kerning is the space between letters, which can be altered to your personal preference for example 'word' < no kerning,
'w  o  r  d'< has kerning.
