Look at http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2013/05/how-to-optimize-for-legibility-using-text-rendering/ or Google it for many more articles. Support for the optimizeLegibility setting is pretty good.

The text-rendering property has four settings:

auto: allows the browser to choose a setting itself (generally defaults to optimizeSpeed)
  optimizeSpeed: focuses on speed
  optimizeLegibility: focuses on advanced rendering
  geometricPrecision: precise rendering

optimizeLegibility will improve kerning and add ligature substitution.

geometricPrecision (minimally supported, just Chrome, I think) allegedly calculates subpixel kerning values and prioritizes kerning over any other property.

A more stable fix is using a small negative margin-right (something

font-metrics.

Thanks you guys for all the input. Yes it seems to be the font metrics
as when I resized the text in the test div it the same spacing issue
appeared. I decided to use a negative margin in percentages though and
that seems to work, at least in Chrome. Have not done full testing
across browsers yet.


I would recommend to redo the SVG as an image since the can be scaled as a
percentage width of the<h1>  header and would look much more graceful as you
re-sized the view-port. The only problem is it also fails in IE12.

Will have to experiment with this later ... thanks for the demos and
if you can leave them up for awhile would greatly appreciate it.

Just curious if text-rendering:optimizeLegibility might help. I've found it can 
really be helpful with type.

Rick, can you please expand on this? I'm not sure what this is or how
to implement it.
