It’s nice to see that it’s possible to gain some modicum of control over the display of type – although as it was pointed out, this little bit of control could definitely have some big effects. Informative!

Just enclose each letter in its own div/span.

It should be touted as a faster way to break up characters via div’s than actually allowing placement.

It’s the CSS doing that. Not the js

Trent showed us some kerning here, and what’s exciting about it is that some browsers currently don’t respect (or respect by default) the kerning instructions that come with font files. But Lettering.js is about any kind of character-specific control, not just horizontal adjustments. You can do some pretty crazy stuff.

But what’s so “radical” about an idea that’s hundreds of years old? Nonetheless, very excited.
