Set horizontal stretching of the text, from condensed to expanded. This is not typographically correct - by stretching the text, rather than choosing a completely new typeface, we're scaling the horizontal bars of the font, which isn't ideal. If you need typographical correctness, the only way to do it is to use a font that is condesed/expanded by default.

To scale the text of a paragraph, try this

    <p font-stretch="condensed">This text is 75% narrower than normal</p>
