[...] Well, http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-css3-text-20010517/#word-spacing-prop says "Word spacing algorithms are user agent-dependent. Determining word boundary is typically done by detecting white space characters. There are however many scripts and writing systems that do not separate their words by any character (like Japanese, Chinese, Thai, etc...), detecting word boundaries in these cases require dictionary based algorithms that may not be supported by all user agents. Word spacing is also influenced by justification (see the 'text-align' property)." -- Björn Höhrmann { mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de } http://www.bjoernsworld.de am Badedeich 7 } Telefon: +49(0)4667/981028 { http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de 25899 Dagebüll { PGP Pub.
