How is it possible to change the inter-character spacing - I want to reduce the space between characters slightly so that the text takes up less space horizontally. Can the SetTextCharSpacing be set negative? Are kerning tables supplied with the fonts so that we can use them?

Thanks, Richard

Hi Richard,

Kerning works with TrueType fonts but not with Type 1 fonts.
This is a bug to be fixed, if possible.

SetTextCharSpacing can be set negative and this worked last
time I tried it.
