Examples

Shows how to specify the font size at which kerning begins to take effect.

doc = aw.Document()
builder = aw.DocumentBuilder(doc)
builder.font.name = 'Arial Black'
# Set the builder's font size, and minimum size at which kerning will take effect.
# The font size falls below the kerning threshold, so the run bellow will not have kerning.
builder.font.size = 18
builder.font.kerning = 24
builder.writeln('TALLY. (Kerning not applied)')
# Set the kerning threshold so that the builder's current font size is above it.
# Any text we add from this point will have kerning applied. The spaces between characters
# will be adjusted, normally resulting in a slightly more aesthetically pleasing text run.
builder.font.kerning = 12
builder.writeln('TALLY. (Kerning applied)')
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Font.Kerning.docx')
