The “Inappropriate Letter Spacing Check” evaluates whether there is any content containing styling code that prevents users from adjusting text spacing, particularly letter spacing.
Example outcome
I identified 1 element whose style prevent increasing letter spacing to at least 0.12 times the font size.
Impact
Visual Impairments: Individuals with visual impairments rely on extra spacing to clearly distinguish between letters and words.
Cognitive Disabilities: Readability is significantly improved by increasing spacing, helping reduce mental fatigue.
Dyslexia: They may struggle with tightly spaced text due to visual crowding, which can lead to skipping words or misreading.
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.
