Make whitespace bigger with CSS

I have a font where the whitespaces are pretty small. I would like to make them bigger via CSS (instead of using multiple spaces for more room).

Is it possible to make whitespace bigger via CSS? Any other solutions if not?

word-spacing is probably what you're looking for.

Example from w3schools.com:

.a {
  word-spacing: normal;
}

.b {
  word-spacing: 30px;
}

.c {
  word-spacing: 1cm;
}
<h1>The word-spacing Property</h1>

<h2>word-spacing: normal:</h2>
<p class="a">This is some text. This is some text.</p>

<h2>word-spacing: 30px:</h2>
<p class="b">This is some text. This is some text.</p>

<h2>word-spacing: 1cm:</h2>
<p class="c">This is some text. This is some text.</p>

You have two CSS properties that affect white-space:

  • letter-spacing controls the white-space between each character;
  • word-spacing controls the white-space between words.

.word-spacing-10 {word-spacing: 10px}
.letter-spacing-3 {letter-spacing: 3px}
<p class="word-spacing-10">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>
<p class="letter-spacing-3">The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.</p>

Note that CSS has no way to affect the display characteristics of specific characters (like the space character e.g.).
