   Does anyone know if the typefaces in the Microsoft TrueType Font Packs contain
   kerning pairs?  I've been told the first pack doesn't.  Does this impact
   output quality significantly?  If so, is there a way I could obtain revised
   versions of the Lucida files which have kerning info?

The TT fonts that came with Win 3.1 do have kerning pairs in the four styles
of `Arial', and the four styles of `Times'.  `Symbol', `Wingding', and
`Courier' do not, obviously.
