tackling

n : taking the bull by the horns [syn: {braving}, {confronting},

{coping with}, {grappling}]

tracking

The spacing between {characters} in a line of {text}.

This is defined when a {font} is designed but can often be

altered in order to change the appearance of the text or for

special effects.

Tracking should not be confused with {kerning} which deals

with the spacing between certain pairs of characters.

See also {leading}.
