Using proper typographic terminology will help us understand what you are asking here.

Tracking, the space between all characters, can be manipulated with CSS using the letter-spacing property. This has wide browser compatibility and shouldn't be an issue at all.

Kerning, the space between two characters such as within a logo, is not manipulable with CSS. CSS can only act on discrete elements in the DOM.

However, if you are ok with adding some cruft markup it is possible to do something like this:

<p class="company-name">Kern Me Please</p>


Insert a few spans, enclosing the kerning pairs:

<p class="company-name">K<span class="kern-er">er</span>n Me P<span class="le">le</span>ase</p>


And use the letter-spacing property to style those spans.
