Text Spacing (Kerning/Tracking) Settings Lost

[mvpdigital]

I installed David's Scriptina font. It is not perfect, but it is much closer. There is a bit too thick a curl on the "b" right off the top.

I opened my two files from post 45, "98origialAuto.xar" and "98originalAuto.gif", and superimposed them. I applied transparency to the gif (on top) and adjusted it back and forth, and you can see the Scriptina fix is darn near right on. Just a bit too much space between the "g" and "i".

But then I continued to adjust the transparency back and forth and looked at the Arial "Digital" at the top. The kerning between the "t" and "a" is not the same.

The gif is showing Arial as if the Auto Kerning was off. I will have to set up my 98 machine and make sure that it was indeed on for the Arial text in the original file. But if it was, this is a strange happening.
