word-spacing: -0.05em;
}
The bigger the negative value the smaller the gaps between words. My good friend Google tells me that the default value for word spacing is 0.25em, so the above CSS should reduce it to 0.2em.
Caveat: if you make it too big some words will get fused together and you don't want that! Do lots of testing before re-transferring your whole library.[/LIST] |
Thank you I see I will play a lot. :-)
One weird formatting experience what I have: I placed a hyphen dictionary, what I found here in another topic. Works quite well. (I hope with your tweaks Kobo will be "forced" to hyphenate often). What I do not understand: in the dic, is coded lefthyphens, righthyphens 2 and 2. I was given the same in the hyphenate.css as well. (just for sure) And I saw just ONE character after the hyphen. That looks weird.
Additionally for my eyes seems that in short words, sometimes after hyphens "stretches" Kobo (Makes "spaces" between characters. Not to mention a lot of time discussing "spaces" next to dashes.)
