A typesetting system renders 'AV' with standard letter spacing. Which consequence follows if optical kerning is disabled during PDF conversion?

💡 Explanation

Disabling optical kerning causes letter pairs like 'AV' to be spaced according to their bounding boxes, rather than adjusted for visual balance. Because the angled shape of 'V' creates extra space, a gap becomes noticeable. Therefore, whitespace increases; rather than hinting issues arising or ligatures being forced.
