Thank you @tuanphan. I was able to reference your css code to adjust the kerning problems for the simple list on my site as well. Your help is much appreciated!! 😀
For anyone having the same issue but is using a simple list rather than a carousel, this is what I used (you can change the numerical letter spacing value per your need:
.user-items-list-simple p {
letter-spacing: 1.5px;
}
