It's pretty hard to force, but looks like at least Inkscape has some problems with that.

```xml
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" font-family="Arial" font-size="64">
    <text x="40" y="100" fill-rule="evenodd">مرحبا</text>
    <rect id="frame" x="1" y="1" width="198" height="198" fill="none" stroke="black"/>
</svg>
```

Another example:

```xml
<svg viewBox="0 0 200 200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" font-family="Arial" font-size="64">
    <text x="40" y="100" fill-rule="evenodd" letter-spacing="-20">Text</text>
    <rect id="frame" x="1" y="1" width="198" height="198" fill="none" stroke="black"/>
</svg>
```

![e-text-041](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/725494/54434258-819f0800-4736-11e9-9377-007d33db3dd0.png)

But not everyone supports `letter-spacing`.

A negative `dx` works fine in the Inkscape case, probably because it draws each character separately.
