137396 - render of the "letter-spacing" property

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 102016

(Core :: DOM: CSS Object Model, defect)

Description

[lancer]

when something has the "letter-spacing" property, Mozilla seems to add the
value(the spacing), in the right side of each letter; including the last letter
of the line.


This space, of the last letter in the line, is very annoying; because it makes
difficult to set the property "text-align":

- On paragraphs with "justify" or "right" as value, it makes the right margin,
border or padding, biggest than was set;
- on words and/or lines with "center" as value, the word or line doesnot appear
in the center, appear a little to the left;
- and, on words with "right" as value, it makes appear a right margin, which was
been never set.


If am not wrong, about how is the render of the "letter-spacing" property; I
believe, the value given must be between the letters and not after all the
letters or may be just not adding it to the last letter of the line.
