Sponsor with the world's largest charity for orphans
In typography, tracking is the process of uniformly increasing or decreasing the space between all letters in a block of text. It is commonly confused with kerning, but these are two separate concepts.


Tracking is also the action of a dog following a scent trail. In dog sports, there are tracking competitions.
