llvm dev - Sep 2012 - [LLVMdev] Letter-spacing in Sphinx CSS?

Hello,

Why do we have letter-spacing: -0.01em in the CSS generated by Sphinx?
 Could we remove that?  It makes the main text font look really bad
for me (I can attach an image if anyone wishes to take a look).  Fonts
already have appropriate tracking built-in, so trying to change that,
especially without knowing the font name beforehand, is shooting
oneself into the foot.

main(i,j){for(i=2;;i++){for(j=2;j<i;j++){if(!(i%j)){j=0;break;}}if
(j){printf("%d\n",i);}}} /*Dmitri Gribenko <gribozavr at

Looking through the history with git, it looks like it was just
grandfathered in from the original template that the current template
is based off of. I don't think that it is going to hurt to remove it.

Also, another problem with the current CSS is that some of the
different heading types (IIRC in particular <h2> and <h3>) are very
difficult to distinguish, which makes some documents very difficult to
navigate. Any ideas about how to fix that? One easy way I tried was to
bump the margin a bit on the <h3> to make it indented relative to the
<h2>, making it distinguishable, but if you have a better and more
aesthetically pleasing suggestion I'd like to do that instead.

I'm fine with removing the letter spacing and doing something to help
distinguish <h{2,3}>.
