Re: [css-text] I18N-ISSUE-333: 'letter-spacing' and Arabic

Hi Richard,

No, unfortunately. I don't know an example in print of letter-spacing

But I'll look.

Cheers,
Najib

Najib, do you know of examples in
print of letter-spacing with gaps as
you show them?  Would you be able to send a scan to the
list?

Cheers,
RI
