the person had a typo in their style sheet. Negative character spacing with
right justified text works exactly as expected and does not shift characters as
they had reported. </span></p>

<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I have a
problem trying to using negative letter-spacing with right justified text.
It appears as though the starting position of text is calculated before
any letter-spacing is applied. The net result is that instead of the text
bumped up tight to the right, it appears to be padded a distance from the
right, an amount equal to the space removed between the characters in the
word/phrase.</span> <br>

<br>
<br>
<span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Using the
example above, the word "TEXT" will appear 3 points left of the right
margin. I assume that this is a bug in XEP and not designed behavior.</span> <br>
