The w3c site says:
* It is indeed a css2 property:
css2 recomm. page
<http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/fonts.html#font-styling>
* But it doesn't exist in the css2.1 ("CSS 2.1 is derived from and
is intended to replace CSS2.")
css2.1 page <http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/fonts.html>
* See also:
Changes css2 - css2.1 page
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/changes.html#q22>
* It will be back in css3: (but a long way to go ....)
css3 fonts module page <http://www.w3.org/TR/css3-fonts/#font-styling>
I am afraid you cannot force a browser to support a non-supported
property. And the most don't:
* according to css-creator.com:
browser support
<http://www.csscreator.com/attributes/properties/font-stretch>
* I tried the Eric Meyer's testpage: no results in IE6, FF1.07,
Opera8.01, ...
font-stretch in the test suite
<http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/tests/css2/sec15-02-03d.htm>
But sometimes with "lettter-spacing" the effect can be almost the same:
testpage letter-spacing
<http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/test-font_stretch_alternative.htm>.
:-)
Maybe also word-spacing, or a combination, can help in some cases.
