public class CssLetterSpacing
extends CssProperty

   'letter-spacing'

Value: normal | <length>
Initial: normal
Applies to: all elements
Inherited: yes
Percentage values: N/A

The length unit indicates an addition to the default space between characters. Values can be negative, but there may be implementation-specific limits. The UA is free to select the exact spacing algorithm. The letter spacing may also be influenced by justification (which is a value of the 'align' property). 

   BLOCKQUOTE { letter-spacing: 0.1em }

Here, the letter-spacing between each character in 'BLOCKQUOTE' elements would be increased by '0.1em'.

With a value of 'normal', the UAs may change the space between letters to justify text. This will not happen if 'letter-spacing' is explicitly set to a <length> value: 

   BLOCKQUOTE { letter-spacing: 0 }
   BLOCKQUOTE { letter-spacing: 0cm }

When the resultant space between two letters is not the same as the default space, UAs should not use ligatures.
