A PostScript program being written will need to show some text, quite
large, in Times Bold, some of it in all CAPITALS. The text should be
kerned—especially sequences like “WAY”. But I have no font metrics
files; no pre-computed kerning pairs. Is there any way to have the
PostScript do the kerning automatically? Please, is there any public
code or data that can be fed to kshow?
