- From gtroff(1):
-
- .tkf f s1 n1 s2 n2
- Enable track kerning for font f. When the current
- font is f the width of every character will be
- increased by an amount between n1 and n2; when the
- current point size is less than or equal to s1 the
- width will be increased by n1; when it is greater
- than or equal to s2 the width will be increased by
- n2; when the point size is greater than or equal to
- s1 and less than or equal to s2 the increase in
- width is a linear function of the point size.

- If this doesn't do what you want, perhaps you can explain more fully
- what changes you wish to make to the inter-letter spacing.
