prjnt has just created a new issue for https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts: == [css-text-3] letter-spacing & kerning == Part of commit caf1e4747f2bd906bb9f671af8c463b28b97deda to the editors' draft of css-text-3 (https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#letter-spacing-property) is to say that letter-spacing is applied after kerning. What is the intent of this addition? Kerning should ideally depend on the applied letter-spacing: e.g. the best kerning of nj (conjoin, injure) is influenced by the tail more for loose than tight tracking. I suggest saying that letter-spacing is applied "in addition to" rather than "after" kerning. (Granted, this is only a problem for any user agent that synthesizes kerning, and I do not offhand know of any that currently do. The objection doesn't directly apply to variable fonts, because they aren't affected by the letter-spacing property, though cf. https://github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/issues/2102 .)
