		+	== Letter Spacing in German ==
		+
		+	Hi there...
		+
		+	I guess the statement concerning letter spacing being not available in German isn't (wasn't ever) entirely accurate.
		+
		+	Letter spacing has since the demise of black letter typing become obsolete and is nowadays merely used to emphasise surnames or city names in administrative paperwork. But even in ancient times of German black letter usage, letter spacing wa salso used to achieve justification. If something was to be emphasised in such a line, the spaces would've been even larger, maintaining a certain ratio between regular letter spaces and emphasised letter spaces.
		+
		+	However, since letter spacing is as uncommon in German typing as black letters are, it may be used for justification without any concern. In order to emphasise certain words, italic, bold or underlined text is the means of choice.
		+
		+	Personally, I prefer letter spacing and hyphenation combined, although snakes seem to be the real deal![[Special:Contributions/162.158.85.141\|162.158.85.141]] 14:29, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
