*Summary* Enables percentage values for the letter-spacing and word-spacing CSS property, as defined in the CSS Text Module Level 4 spec. Percentage values are calculated relative to the advance measure of the space character (U+0020). This gives developers more robust and flexible control over typography, particularly in responsive designs where text spacing needs to adapt to different viewports and font sizes. *Blink component* Blink>Layout>Inline <https://issues.chromium.org/issues?q=customfield1222907:%22Blink%3ELayout%3EInline%22> *Web Feature ID* letter-spacing <https://webstatus.dev/features/letter-spacing> *Search tags* letter-spacing <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:letter-spacing>, word-spacing <https://chromestatus.com/features#tags:word-spacing> *Risks* *Interoperability and Compatibility* Risks are low. This is a support for new value of CSS properties. So sites not using properties won't be affected. Firefox and Safari has supported this feature for years. *Gecko*: Shipped/Shipping Firefox is failing so many letter-spacing tests: https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-text/letter-spacing?label=experimental&label=master&aligned. But those are related the line ending or boundary handling of letter-spacing, not the percentage values.
