And for future info, the "gap between letters" is called letterspacing. It's sometimes used as emphasis instead of bold/italics, and can be replicated using CSS:

Code:
<p>As much mud in the streets as if the waters had but newly retired from the face of the earth, and it would not be wonderful to meet a <em>Megalosaurus</em>, forty feet long or so, waddling like an elephantine lizard up <em>Holborn Hill</em>.</p>
CSS:

Code:
em {
	font-style: normal;
	font-weight: bold;
	letter-spacing: .2em;
}
For more detailed info, also see:

Especially all the posts in those two threads, we went into extremely detailed discussions about differences between italics/emphasis, bold/strong, plus different methods of application.
