The original Frederic Goudy quote was "any man who would letterspace text...", where 'text' in this case applies to blackletter, not "lowercase text". See the Frederic Goudy entry for reference.
RTF Spacing[edit]
Letter-spacing in RTF is done with the \expndN and \expndtwN conrtol words. For the first, N is in quarter points; for the second, N is in twips. "For backward compatibility, both \expndtw and \expnd should be emitted." For Verdana \fs26 , values as close-together as \expnd-4\expndtw-20 are still acceptable. One purpose for this is to fit a long line into a given page width (such as for poetry, where split lines aren't allowed), without having to go to a squinchier font such as Tahoma or a smaller font size, either of which would look inconsistent with the other lines. For some purposes it might be necessary to also add a \ltrch control word. agb
