I've been looking around and found this:

But that was back in June 2012.

Is there a solution for this?.

Thanks.

Edit box text has received attention in 108 so this should no longer be a problem

I see that this issue seems to have been fixed, yet there is still no command for setting the text spacing in edit boxes. If I make the text size larger, the gaps also get larger..

Should I vouch for an enhancement on the issue web site? I guess the solution right now would be to trim down on the font image so that there is no need for setting the text width.

Hallowed are the ori.

If you are using a custom font and it has a subimages file (which it must if it is not fixed width), then you can actually make your space smaller by editing the subimages text file.

The first line in the file starts with '32:', which is the ascii code for a space. To make your space character narrower, make the fourth value smaller.

The line layout is this:
<ascii code>:<starting x>:<starting y>:<width>:<height>

Good idea. I'll run the subimages text file through a little parser to modify the mappings. It'll probably take some tweaking to get all the characters looking right, but it only needs to be done once after all.

Cheers.
