I tested LetterSpacingTest.kt on https://github.com/flyingsaucerproject/flyingsaucer and letter-spacing is not respected by flyingsaucer either. OpenPDF is forked from flyingsaucer. This means that at least this bug isn't some new bug which was created in openpdf-html, in the fork process.
Pull requests for this is welcome!
Maybe we can find out how openhtmltopdf does this. However, openhtmltopdf is pdfbox based.
Flyingsaucer 9.0.0 with iText 2.1.7 doesn't apply letter-spacing either, in the LetterSpacingTest.kt test.
