Hello!
Intro: I use russian version of Xerox Ventura Publisher 2.0 Professional
Extension & HP LJ II {+|P} (w/o PostScript) to prepare newsletters, books
and leaflets for various soviet publishers. Russion VP 2.0 doesn't
contain any kerning pairs in HP LJ+ width tables. To increase polygraphic
quality, I tried to add kerning information myself, as described in
my VP 2.0 Ref. Guide (App. K).
Problem: There is no any kerning for *some* pairs of symbols. It's
"right symbol depending" - e.g. symbol <164> (spanish n~ or cyrillic 'd',
that *should* be kerned) doesn't shift relatively other symbols.
These applicaple both to Russian VP-PE & VP and to original (english)
VP 2.0 so I suppose this is not russian release bug.
Help needed: Proper kerning could dramatically increase quality of the
printout. Any help would be highly appreciated.
