G'day guys,

I'm not in book publishing, just paddling my way through work as a junior graphic designer. I thought i'd share my settings. I got them awhile back from a Michael Murphy podcast & well, they have always been fine. I have them as my default settings.

Word Spacing 85, 95, 105

Letter Spacing -3, -1, 2

Glyph Spacing 98, 100, 101

As far a type distortion goes, do you mean horizontal and vertical scaling? If yes, I was taught in college that it is not acceptable to distort any type, ever. If the Type Designer wanted it any differently it would have been created that way.
