Web type is exploding all over the web but CSS currently doesn’t offer complete down-to-the-letter control. So we created a jQuery plugin to give you that control. Here are a few examples of what can easily be done with Lettering.js:

Web typography used to be something of an oxymoron, but recent browser advances and tools like Typekit have helped bring web typography out of the dark ages with custom fonts. Thanks to JavaScript libraries like Lettering.js you can tweak those custom fonts — targeting specific words or letters — and adjust them to your liking. But, handy as Lettering.js is, tweaking the letter-spacing, hitting refresh, tweaking some more and so on is still a rather tedious way to improve your kerning. That’s why designer Brendan Strombergercreated the Kern.js JavaScript bookmarklet. Used in conjunction with Lettering.js, Kern.js allows you to adjust kerning by simply selecting and dragging letters (or you can use the arrow keys). Kerning adjustments can be made in pixels or ems, so even you if you have a liquid layout there’s no reason you can’t get in on the kerning fun. Once you’ve got your kerning looking the way you’d like, just hit the “finish editing” button and Kern.js will spit out the necessary CSS to apply. via http://www.webmonkey.com/
