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.
The letter-spacing attribute controls spacing between text characters.
If the attribute value is a unitless number (like 128), the browser processes it as a <length> in the current user coordinate system.
If the attribute value has a unit identifier, such as .25em or 1%, then the browser converts the <length> into its corresponding value in the current user coordinate system.
Note:
As a presentation attribute, letter-spacing also has a CSS property counterpart: letter-spacing. When both are specified, the CSS property takes priority.
You can use this attribute with the following SVG elements:
