The “Letter Spacing Check” evaluates whether all content does not use CSS or other techniques to prevent users from adjusting text spacing, particularly letter spacing.
Example outcome
I observed that styles are not used to prevent increasing letter spacing.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Custom spacing helps users distinguish words and letters more clearly.
Cognitive Disabilities: Improved spacing reduces visual clutter and makes reading less overwhelming.
Dyslexia: Increased letter spacing can help reduce the visual crowding effect, improving character recognition and reading speed.
Fixes
To address inappropriate letter spacing:
Locate the style code used to inappropriately forbid increasing letter spacing.
Remove or change the code, ensuring that it allows the increase of letter spacing.
