Hi, is there any way to change the letter spacing in the item description within a carousel? Although the font size is correct, the spacing between letters looks much smaller/narrower than everywhere else on the site.

Please see the attached image illustrating the problem. The red box shows the letter spacing in a carousel item description — you can see it has much tighter spacing between the letters. The green box shows the letter spacing everywhere else on the site. I would like to make the spacing shown in the red box match the rest of the site.

I've tried adjusting this through the carousel editor, and with custom CSS, but have not yet found a solution.

Thanks so much for your help! I would be so grateful to solve this.

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;
}

OP here. Thank you! I adjusted the value and was able to successfully make the letter spacing in the carousel match the rest of the text on the site.
