if i specify letter-spacing, ie 6 ignores line breaks if i use more than one in a row.

take a look!

ff3 with letter spacing defined
ie6 with letter spacing defined
ie6 without letter spacing defined

i found someone else with the same problem:

so now i use this code:

        <style type="text/css">
            @import "/lucas/stripes.css";
        </style>
        <!--[if lt IE 7.]>
            <script defer type="text/javascript" src="/lucas/pngfix.js"></script>
            <style type="text/css">
                * {letter-spacing: 0;}
            </style>
        <![endif]-->

ie6 users don't deserve good typography.

weird.
