Description

If letter-spacing is applied to an inline element, that uses one of the base-14 fonts, the width of the inline element is automatically expanded with the letter-spacing.
However if a custom font is used (e.g. Arial) the inline width isn't expanded anymore, which prevents from using background-color or borders for the inline element.
See attached PDF which illustrates the problem.
