You can also do it using SVG, if you wish:

var title = document.querySelector('h1'),
    text = title.innerHTML,
    svgTemplate = document.querySelector('svg'),
    charStyle = svgTemplate.querySelector('#text');

svgTemplate.style.display = 'block';

var space = 0;

for (var i = 0; i < text.length; i++) {
  var x = charStyle.cloneNode();
  x.textContent = text[i];
  svgTemplate.appendChild(x);
  x.setAttribute('x', space);
  space += x.clientWidth || 15;
}

title.innerHTML = '';
title.appendChild(svgTemplate);

This is not a solution X
