#181 letter-spacing causes word to "overflow" into next word

[Patric Mueller]

If you have an HTML snippet like this:
abcd <span style="letter-spacing: 0.2em;">efgh</span> ijkl

the width of efgh will be without the enlargement by the letterspacing and efgh and ijkl will partly overlap.

I attached a testcase html that displays this bug.

For my Kindle Touch port of CoolReader, I made a crude workaround. Instead of setting the letter_spacing property, it just uses italics. By far not a real solution.
