Oh, also please tell us again how it was done before with brush & all us people with printers now do not have required skill to make any signs. Did not hear that one this week yet.

P.S. I have 2 60+ year old sign painters as good friends of mine and they do wonders with brush & they do have that much experience to tell me my mistakes, but never they were acting like you right now.

you do not violate a character's type body [that would be the minimum rectangle that contains the character]

Convert to outline and kern it by hand. So fonts just do not kern well with certain letter combinations.

background would be .063 alumimu. with dibond letters on top, border vinyl

cost for tear down and install of new about $3800.00

Don't listen to Bob - he doesn't know what he's talking about. Kerning is about making the spacing between the letters look visually balanced and even. You would only follow the "type body" rule if you were trying to design something intentionally made to look like it was printed with metal type. It's not a rule that applies with modern design tools.
