           Summary: Letter-spacing conflicts with centering and carriage-
                    return
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Major
          Priority: P1
         Component: Layout and Rendering
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: david at goddess-gate.com


In the attached document, the first line, “Bereshit bara” is not optically
centered, as evidence by the border-bottom (I ruled out the optical illusion of
the uppercase leading “B”.

It is metrically centered, but fails the optical test because the
letter-spacing is taken into consideration for the last letter, while it should
not be, from a human point of view (from a computer point of view, everything
is OK).

Suggestion: center the letters in their spacing (just select a letter with the
mouse; the highlighting will show you the exact position of the letter in its
box)
