    Description

      The CSS letter-spacing is breaking text layout, the calculated text width and the rendered text width are different, similar to what happened in Bug #40912 because of the soft-hyphens.

      Run the attached example, you will see that the underline on the <a> tag does not match the text and some text overflows the boundaries of the <p> tag when letter spacing is applied. See attached screenshot for how it looks on my system.

      The HTML used in this example renders fine in chromium and firefox.
