I haven't yet added anything to CanvasDrawingStyles for fonts other than the alignment and what is supported by the 'font' shorthand property. I expect we will eventually add more, but in the meantime I recommend using the new TextMetrics features to perform manual letter spacing adjustements. If this is something that is commonly done, it would be a good argument for adding native support. -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
