Re: Checking Text Spacing For Normal People

Hi Jim,

I have two options that don't require fiddling with the CSS directly.

1. Dylan's Text Spacing bookmarklet - Can be installed very easily by dragging the 'link' to your bookmarks bar. Browser agnostic, so it's a good option for MacOS testing. Works on most pages. (https://dylanb.github.io/bookmarklets.html)
2. TPGi's ARCToolkit. It's a Developer Tools/Browser plugin, so you do need to open DevTools. The Text Spacing option is available under the "Highlight" tools. Available for Chrome and Firefox, so basically WIndows based. (https://www.tpgi.com/arc-platform/arc-toolkit/)

Best,
Juliette

Hi,
Does anyone have a way to test text spacing for those criteria that involve it for people who don’t want to, or don’t know how to muck around with browser development environments?
 
Thanks.
 
Jim
