    Is it possible to define character independent kerning without setting up a unique product style for that single character?

    E.g. in the type face I'm using the kerning between the '£' character and the '1' character is fine at '0' but between the '£' and the '7' i need to put -80 adjustment on the kerning for the correct look, is this possible to automate?

    Thanks

    Hmm not entirely sure but you could handle it through a Grep Style. In your paragraph style make a grep style that Looks for any instance of “£″ after befor the number “7″ and applies a charater syle that has -80 Tracking… It should have the same effect as kerning those letters although not technically the same.

    Use this GREP

    £(?=7)

    You could even do this to you Basic Paragraph style so it would be in every paragraph style you make in that document.

    You might try posting this on EasyCatalog's twitter page and see if they have another idea of how to do it. But that is my Band-Aid or Plaster or adhesive bandage if you will.
