Letter spacing for text drives me absolutely insane. The text is inside a polygon frame:

 ___
/    |

(sorry for the poor ASCII representation)

Line spacing and word spacing seems to work ok, but the character spacing, man oh man...

If I set it to -0.3 it switches to -0.24 !
If I set it to 3 it switches to 2.40 !
If I set it to -0.7 it switches to -0.56 !
-1 turns into -0.80 and so on, so forth....

Using the mouse scroll above the input box is even worse ! What the hell ??

I'm running Arch Linux i686, up to date, but the exact same thing happens on Windows XP as well.

Is there anything I can do ? For instance draw the polygon clockwise or something... Should the beginning point be top left corner ?
