Ah... I see.

To be honest my initial reply isn't much help in this circumstance. I 
have been in this position before (I was trying to make a small-caps 
style that wasn't just smaller capital glyphs in the same style)... I 
eventually gave up.

As David just said in his reply, typography rendering in browsers is 
down to all sorts of factors that CSS doesn't integrate with fully, and 
in my opinion letter-spacing in particular is not incredibly reliable.

So... Good luck! For now I've resigned myself to keeping the depressing 
bits of Gill's philosophy - machines can't understand the immense and 
subtle beauty of type, so they should keep it simple to avoid ruining 
something they can't yet grasp (I wonder what he would have said to the 
internet!).

Regards,
Barney
