Hello, 

 I am tryign to automate setting some very specific text template our team uses, is it possible to set the kerning type (eg. Metric, Optical) using extendscript/javascript. Below is a small portion of my code that enables all sorts of text properties so I assume I could call and sat the property much like the others below but haven't found any documentaiotn or example where it is being done. If possible,  I'd like to make sure that kerning is set to "optical".

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

 

textDocument.resetCharStyle();
textDocument.fontSize = 16;
textDocument.fillColor = [1, 1, 1];
textDocument.strokeColor = [0, 0, 0];
textDocument.strokeWidth = 0;
textDocument.font = "HelveticaNeueLTStd-Roman";
textDocument.strokeOverFill = false;
textDocument.applyStroke = false;
textDocument.applyFill = true;
textDocument.text = myString;
textDocument.justification = ParagraphJustification.CENTER_JUSTIFY;
textDocument.tracking = 98;
textProp.setValue(textDocument);
