Hi Cam, Rather than using new CSS features to solve your problem, I think the simplest and best approach here is simply to use a font that's designed for the set of characters you intend to use. Applying "effects" like this is always a second-rate option.

Here is one: <pre> ... <ex:arc from="n2" to="n3" label="Λ + c"/> ... </pre> It turns out that the font I am using for my code snippets doesn't have a glyph for the "Λ" character, and that the fallback font it ends up using has an advance that is a bit bigger than that of the surrounding characters. This causes all the following characters to look misaligned, when looking at the lines above and below it. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? I feel like I want the ability to compress the "Λ" so that its advance is 1ch or perhaps to let it render at its slightly-bigger-than-I-want size but then place the following character where I expect it. pre { font-family: My Monospace Font; text-advance: 1ch compress; }
