Malcolm,

The code below gives you the kerning value of the characters left and right of the insertion point. This works for both optical kerning and metrics kerning. You'd have to add code to go through the text and collect all values found.

Peter

_p = app.selection[0];
_story = _p.parentTextFrame.parentStory;
_index = _p.index;

_chL = _story.characters[_index-1].contents;
_chR = _story.characters[_index].contents;
_kv = _p.kerningValue;

alert( _chL + " " + _chR + " " + _kv )
