useAnsiKerningPairs (Use ANSI Kerning Pairs from Fonts)

This element specifies whether applications shall use the ANSI or Unicode kerning pair information from fonts stored in the document when displaying those characters within the document's contents.

Typically, applications shall use the Unicode kerning pair information in order to determine all possible kerning pairs in the fonts in use. This element, when present with a val attribute value of true (or equivalent), specifies that the ANSI kerning information shall be used instead.

[Example: Consider a WordprocessingML document with text that contains one or more kerning pairs.

If this compatibility setting is turned on:

<w:compat>
<w:useAnsiKerningPairs />
</w:compat>

Then the ANSI kerning pairs are used in place of the Unicode kerning pairs, potentially resulting in different line breaks.

end example]

Attributes

Description

val (On/Off Value)

Specifies a binary value for the property defined by the parent XML element.

A value of on, 1, or true specifies that the property shall be explicitly applied. This is the default value for this attribute, and is implied when the parent element is present, but this attribute is omitted.

A value of off, 0, or false specifies that the property shall be explicitly turned off.

[Example: For example, consider the following on/off property:

<w:… w:val="off"/>

The val attribute explicitly declares that the property is turned off. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_OnOff simple type (§2.18.67).
