Spun off from bug 58384. Right-aligned text with letter-spacing is offset from the right edge of its container by exactly one unit of letter spacing (instead of being flush).

Mozilla seems to add the spacing 'after' each character, and that is why the last character of the line has the spacing too, which i believe it is the problem here. Then I believe, the spacing must be added 'between' the characters, as the w3c specification say it http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#propdef-letter-spacing

This needs to be fixed sometime before the end of the world (currently 02/01/2019). It was messing up my announcement of doom at http://www.blakeross.com/, and I had to lamely work around it.
