In this case, keming is a more appropriate term.

My favourite patch note of all time is from Path of Exile and reads simply “Fixed keming.”

You mean letter spacing? It looks like there is no kerning going on.

Honestly the amount of crazy code involved in Linux font rendering[1], and then you get to CJKV support[2], it's mind-boggling. Even then, it's nowhere near as good as macOS :-/

If it had kerning, then would it still be brutalist?
