Detect sub-pixel word- and letter-spacing.
var subpixelWordSpacing = false;
if (document.defaultView && document.defaultView.getComputedStyle) {
// Store the original word spacing on the document element
var originalWordSpacing = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(document.documentElement, null).wordSpacing;
// Set the word-spacing to half a pixel
document.documentElement.style.wordSpacing = '0.5px';
// This will return either 0px or 1px if sub-pixel word-spacing is not supported, otherwise

//A somewhat conservative test for supporting characters.
//Actually, it's a test to see if the glyphs of two characters
//are identical. This tends to work, however, some implementations
//may instead replace the text with a box with the hex code
//and this wouldn't work in those cases. One way might be to detect
//the presence of a rectangular box, but that may cause issues with
//glyphs that are rectangluar boxes (eg. Mail symbol).
