To track or not to track?

Kerning: horizontal space adjustment between two glyphs. Part of the typeface design.
Tracking: horizontal space adjustments during typesetting. Not part of the typeface design.

IMHO the problem is rather the narrow space between H and I.

What I meant to say (but did not) is that the need for kerning is the result of the loose tracking.

djipster -- Don't be afraid of decreasing the space in R A P.

paragraph -- If there were no tracking applied to the word, the A would stand out even more. Tracking, in so far, has a positive effect rather than a negative one. Unfortunately it didn't help much in this case.

Quite right, Karsten, another slack posting of mine. Without the loose tracking, there would be very little one could do.

If you are on InDesign this could be helpful:

There is a link for a ready to go script for Minion, I recall. Look for it.
