	Adobe Fonts - Type topics: Spacing
		Word spacing, the space between words, should be constant in flush left, flush right, or centered text.
		However, for justified text, word spacing varies from line to line to keep margins even, and it is important to keep word spacing as consistent as possible, often with the use of hyphenation to aid readability.
		Spacing concerns and the design of the typeface itself affect what is known as typographic color.

	Word Spacing - ITCFonts.com
		Word spacing that’s too tight makes it hard for the eye to distinguish one word from the next, so that words appear to run into each other.
		The optimal word spacing of a typeface will be affected by the overall width of a typestyle, the openness or tightness of the letterfit, and the point size of the setting.
		The word spacing of an “out-of-the-box” font is a predetermined value and differs from font to font.

	Controlling text spacing alignment word spacing using css.
		Cascading Stylesheets allows you to control the spacing between words and the spacing between individual characters.

	Relevant History: Word spacing, silent reading, and cyborgs
		Word spacing is something that we never think about, much less think about having been invented or having a history.The Romans almost never used it: Latin texts and inscriptions on buildings often ran words together (the graffiti-turned-grammar lesson scene in Monty Python's Life of Brian notwithstanding).
		Word spacing began as an aid to reading aloud, but it soon gave rise to two new practices: silent copying and (paradoxically) silent reading.
		In the 13th and 14th century, private reading becomes a space for "individual critical thinking" that encourages "the development of skepticism and intellectual heresy." (399) Likewise, spiritual literature in the 14th century was meant to be read alone, turning reading itself into a kind of meditation (that incidentally involved the highest of the senses, sight).

	Text
		In this example, the space between characters in BLOCKQUOTE elements is increased by '0.1em'.
		When the resultant space between two characters is not the same as the default space, user agents should not use ligatures.
		Word spacing is also influenced by justification (see the 'text-align' property).

	Text
		Word spacing affects each space (U+0020), non-breaking space (U+00A0), and ideographic space (U+3000) left in the text after the white space processing rules have been applied.
		This would leave two spaces, one after the A in the left-to-right embedding level, and one after the B in the right-to-left embedding level.
		Note that there are two spaces between A and B, and none between B and C. This can sometimes be avoided by using the natural bidirectionality of characters instead of explicit embedding levels.

	Word Spacing
		When setting justified type, variation in word spacing must be allowed, although the ideal is to approach the optimum value when at all possible.
		As the measure increases, the word spacing should increase, although less than in direct proportion to the increase in measure.
		The vertical space between lines set by leading wants to be complemented by an increase in the horizontal space that word space settings determine.

	Writer's Block - Writing Tips - Spacing (3)
		Spaces in handwriting or carved print moulds were dictated by the writer's or carver's perception of what was appropriate.
		In typewritten texts, one space between words was fine, but two spaces seemed necessary to counter the apparent break between the final word of the preceding sentence and its period.
		To be strictly accurate, only one standard word space should be inserted between the end of one sentence and the start of the next.

	RichInStyle.com test pages: text - word-spacing
		Justification suppresses word spacing, but since it doesn't cover one line, it should not be justified and therefore the word-spacing should be the same as the element above it.
		word should have 50 pixels of space on either side (testing that the browser checks outside the element to see whether it is a word).
		The element above should look precisely the same as that below (text-align: justify; letter-spacing: 0; word-spacing: 50px on the one above; letter-spacing: 0 suppresses kerning adjustment, and justification means that word spacing must be disregarded).

	WordSetter
		The main purpose of this option is to change the character spacing of the character styles already applied to the spaces in your text, which is much faster than applying the character styles in the first place (which is what option 1 does).
		This option deletes all of the spacing character styles that the program has applied to your document, leaving the word spacing as it was before you used the program.
		However, if you apply word spacing locally and later apply (not adjust) spacing on a document level, the local spacing will be replaced (and thus overridden) by spaces formatted with the character style.

	Improving the Bottom Line
		Word users often ask how to make the bottom margin (or the distance between footnotes and text) exactly the same on every page.
		Line spacing of Exactly 24 points is equivalent to 3 lines per inch (72 points = 1 inch), which is the same as “double spacing” on a typewriter.
		Often a one-word paragraph ending can be pulled up by resetting a line more tightly, or a full line can be reset looser to run over.

		First, a little typographic theory of relativity: While the word spacing of a font is a fixed value in relationship to the point size, it visually changes as the type gets larger or smaller.
		A good rule of thumb for text word spacing is to match the width of the lowercase ‘n' or ‘o'.

		The traditional typesetting rule had always been to suppress any spacing above a paragraph at the start of a new page (because there is a very basic rule of page design that says all pages MUST accommodate the eye by starting at exactly the same visual level).
		In other words, some pages included the first-line spacing and some did not, with the result that the first line bobbed like a rubber duck in turbulent bath water.

		Justified type will inevitably have uneven spacing between words because there is no other way to justify type except by adding or subtracting small amounts of space between words (for all practical purposes, not between letters, though, which is considered a typographic no-no).
		WSWin can’t show you the badly spaced lines automatically, which means you have to be aware of the word spacing as you’re proofing your pages, mark the too-tight or too-loose lines, and fix them.
		Publications typed with two spaces have an unprofessional appearance, whether you agree with it or not, and will cause your work to be ridiculed (open any book on your shelf – the only books you’ll see double spaces in were desktop published).

		Word Spaces - In most cases, the spaces between words are properly extracted from a PDF document.
		If the software guesses wrong, and inserts a space where there should not be one, you can end up with a word split in two when it was not meant to be.
		In addition, the way that vertical positioning can be done within a PDF is such that, like with word spacing, the extraction software has a tough time determining whether something is in fact super or subscripted, and it simply makes a guess.
