Curious about specifics as I could not spot any > documentation so far. The text-rendering property is a hint to the browser about the author's intentions. Beginning in Firefox 3.0, Firefox uses it to choose whether to enable kerning and ligatures or not. Webkit later adopted this for the same purpose. More explicit control over kerning and ligatures will be available once the font feature proposal in the current CSS3 Fonts draft has been agreed upon and implemented, it includes explicit control over kerning and ligatures: http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-fonts/#font-rend-props Regards, John Daggett
