≪	how can I change the spacing between characters in a word? Eg,
		J a c k P a a r
instead of
		Jack Paar
except of course using points or fractions of an inch instead of whole
spaces. ≫

Use a PostScript interpreter (software if you don't have a PS printer),
driver, add an ashow procedure (modifies the distance between characters
horizontally or vertically) to fb<, and define the proc as an attribute
to make it easy to turn on and off. The driver would cause the string
to look like this to the interpreter:
	n1 n2 (Jack Paar) ashow
where n1 is the x offset and n2 is the y offset.

The term for what you dudes are trying to do with the wrong tools is
letterspacing, not kerning. 				--a
