As always, if you notice anything strange....
In my Mac's Safari (latest version) and Firefox (latest version), I noticed a
small detail I've noticed on sites I'm working on.
The letter-spacing for text is IMHO a bit too tight. Reading on a monitor, I
prefer a bit more.
But when I try to adjust letter spacing, it doesn't work. That is, I've tried
adding small values, increasing with each try - and saw no result. Then
suddenly the text will jump to letter spacing so pronounced that the wind blows
between the letters. (Well, at least, more than I want.)
I think I asked about that someplace, and I think the answer may have been that
letter spacing was best avoided, because browsers handle it neither
consistently nor well. This list is more precise than most. Should I just
accept default letter spacing and move my thoughts elsewhere?

Personal Opinion:
Play at being a web designer rather than being a type designer. Do not
letterspace text for desktop. Sometimes when used with discretion and
depending on the font letterspacing of a heading /may/ be appropriate.
