Well, in WPwin6.1 the manual kerning (Menu: Layout, Typography) results in 
the same code as a horizontal advance anyway ;-)
And I think you can fiddle with the letterspacing by setting them to some 
percentage of optimal (etc.) in one of the menus. I haven't really tested 
that because I don't have a good reason to do it (yet) -- even though I am 
rather perfectionistic regarding layout and typography.
