I'll interpret that as saying that I would be pretending because the web doesn't allow type design in any meaningful sense. That's useful to hear. In the larger (older) world of type, some fonts are naturally spaced to fit tight. Some loose. Seems on topic in this thread to ask if the few fonts we use for web text vary in fit? How do Trebuchet MS, Arial, Helvetica, Georgia, and Verdana compare in "natural" not-adjusted letter-spacing?
