How do I reduce characters' width of Arial-like fonts with CSS?

+3  A: 

You can't reduce character width, but you can reduce letter-spacing.

span {
 letter-spacing: 0px;
}

also takes decimal fractions (e.g. 0.2px) and negatives (e.g. -1px, -0.2px), so you can get some pretty fine-grained control.

oh, and different units, so it can be size-independent: -1%, -0.01em -- handy if the text in question varies in size.

Streching a font will be possible with the font-stretch property of CSS 3.
