Not so fast… I would argue that Gecko's result is overly tight ! and thus not exactly perfect. There is also one extra component at work here: the way glyphs are painted and hooked to the underlying pixelgrid (which also will depend on the resolution of the device used to view the test). Here is an alternate test: http://dev.l-c-n.com/_temp/letter-spacing.html And no, WebKit is not 'bad'. (and I have lots of respect for what WebKit does, I'm not that much enamoured with the way text is painted in Fx 4+, on OS X) Philippe -- Philippe Wittenbergh http://l-c-n.com/ ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
