If the text is <em>justified</em> <span class='bracket'>(</span>set flush left and right<span class='bracket'>)</span>, the word space must be elastic. In either case the size of the ideal word space varies from one circumstance to another, depending on factors such as letterfit, type color, and size. A loosely fitted or bold face will need a larger interval between the words. At larger sizes, when letterfit is tightened, the spacing of words can be tightened as well.&#8221;</p>

The default word space is equivalent to approximately 0.25&nbsp;em, although the exact value will depend on information encoded within the digital font file. To change the word spacing, you should specifiy a length in ems. This length is added to the existing word space; that is to say <code>word-spacing</code> does not set the actual space between words, it sets an increment to the existing spacing. For&nbsp;example:</p>
