Start by blowing page-zoom in browsers to max, before attempting to tune letter-spacing. There simply aren't enough screen-pixels on default page/text size, so a jump of 1 pixel up or down - which is the smallest real adjustment browsers can make - will become an "enormous jump".

"Letterfit" is doomed to break no matter what you do, and the only solution is to provide space so it doesn't break your entire design when a browser-setting disturbs your line-up.
To be clear, here is a result of employing browser minimum font size as user defense against your 12px font size, which is mousetype size (25% of browser default) here @144 DPI (high resolution) display: http://fm.no-ip.com/SS/rorber01.png
