Question Kerning issue in post titles

As you can see in the highlighted areas of my screenshot the kerning is really messed up in my post titles. It's pretty much unreadable at this point. How can I get this back to normal? I am using Aphotic II for my template at the moment and haven't made any modifications to it. Also, you can see that some of the buttons in the bottom tray of the post seem to want to wander out of place as well. Any thoughts on how to get them lined up properly?

I'm sorry but, even with a magnifying glass, I cannot see the issue from the picture. Can you please post your K 1.6 configuration report so that we may see what's going on at your website? Thank you.

Ok here's the config report and I also redid that screencap at full resolution. The area's in the red rectangles are what I'm talking about. The letter kerning is set to the point everything is just jumbled together.

Thank you for your configuration report.

Your problem concerns a kerning issue in your J! 1.6.1 site template. Please report this issue to the Rockettheme . Thank you.

I didn't have the issue with the default template, it only appeared after I installed a new template.

I am also exploring options from Rockettheme support, so do you have any specifics I could give them as to why you believe this is a overall template issue rather than Kunena?

Can you please clarify what you mean? I want to be clear if we are discussing Kunena tempaltes or Joomla site templates.

Yes, I believe this is an overall issue affecting Rockettheme templates and J! 1.6 but that's something you need to confirm with them. J! 1.6 is very new and site templates for that version are also very new. Let's eliminate Rockettheme as a possible source of these problems, shall we? As you are paying for their support it only seems reasonable that you should ask them for their support.

As you know - because you read the K 1.6 Installation Guide didn't you - K 1.6 is not endorsed by the JED as a native J! 1.6 component. We are working towards that goal. K 1.6.3 will work with J! 1.6 but, until the many problems have been sorted out with J! 1.6, there are some outstanding issues that will not be resolved (and will probably never be fully resolved) with J! 1.6.1.
