letter-spacing

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.

CSS 的 letter-spacing 属性用于设置文本字符的间距表现。在渲染文本时添加到字符之间的自然间距中。letter-spacing 的正值会导致字符分布得更远，而 letter-spacing 的负值会使字符更接近。

语法

css

/* Keyword value */
letter-spacing: normal;

/* <length> values */
letter-spacing: 0.3em;
letter-spacing: 3px;
letter-spacing: 0.3px;

/* Global values */
letter-spacing: inherit;
letter-spacing: initial;
letter-spacing: unset;

值

normal: 此间距是按照当前字体的正常间距确定的。和 0 不同的是，normal 会让用户代理调整文字之间空间来对齐文字。
<length>: 指定文字间的间距以替代默认间距。可以是负值，但有可能会出现 implementation 限制。用户代理不会在此基础上进一步增加或缩减间距来对齐文字。

形式语法

letter-spacing = 
  normal    |
  <length>

示例

HTML

html

<p class="normal">letter spacing</p>
<p class="em-wide">letter spacing</p>
<p class="em-wider">letter spacing</p>
<p class="em-tight">letter spacing</p>
<p class="px-wide">letter spacing</p>

CSS

css

.normal {
  letter-spacing: normal;
}
.em-wide {
  letter-spacing: 0.4em;
}
.em-wider {
  letter-spacing: 1em;
}
.em-tight {
  letter-spacing: -0.05em;
}
.px-wide {
  letter-spacing: 6px;
}

可解决的问题

一个很大的正或负的 letter-spacing值会将应用这个样式的单词变为不可读的。给文本 letter-spacing 属性应用了一个很大的正值，字母之间的距离会很远，以至于文本中的单词将显示为一系列单独的，无有任何关联的字母。给文本 letter-spacing 属性应用了一个很大的负值，字母将会互相重叠到一个点，在这个点上单词可能无法识别了。

最佳的易辨认的字母间距（letter-spacing）必须根据具体情况来确定，因为不同的字体系列具有不同的字符宽度。没有任何一个值可以确保所有字体系列自动保持它们的可读性。

A large positive or negative letter-spacing value will make the word(s) the styling is applied to unreadable. For text styled with a very large positive value, the letters will be so far apart that the word(s) will appear like a series of individual, unconnected letters. For text styled with a very large negative value, the letters will overlap each other to the point where the word(s) may be unrecognizable.

Legible letter-spacing must be determined on a case-by-case basis, as different font families have different character widths. There is no one value that can ensure all font families automatically maintain their legibility.
