Is there any possiblity to turn off kerning from the webpage?

I have a webpage where I defenitely not want it to be kerned (or alternatively have two letters still be kerned when I split them with a span)

I’ve become so used to the way it looks with the gap that it looks funny without it.

Hi Bob,

I’m discussing Firefox 3, which has had several radical Mac changes vs Firefox 2. Complaints are always accepted , but please don’t assume we’re adding yet another thing to an otherwise unchanged program.

The kerning is no doubt worth it, anything that makes text more readable is a good thing (as long as you can turn it off on slower machines).

This is one of the few times I think we can indulge ourselves thanks to the power of modern computers

Another performance hit for Firefox? Great. I recently switch to Camino and gave up my beloved extensions because I couldn’t deal with the unbelievably bad performance of Firefox on my Mac. Camino is now happily rendering pages roughly 5x faster than Firefox was.

I really don’t know why Firefox is so much faster on Windows.
