PDFsharp & MigraDoc Forum

Hi guys,

I have a question...is it possible to adjust letter spacing for specific font? I have a font that is great, but would really like to increase spacing between characters.

Can this be done with pdfsharp or migradoc? If it can...a tip would be welcome.

Maybe it is also worth mentioning that I am creating a pdf. I load a template and then write on it.

Thank you.

Best,
Sinisa

Hi!

With PDFsharp you can draw character by character - and calculate the position for every character as needed.

With MigraDoc you can add spaces between the characters. And Unicode includes a lot small spaces in the U+2000 through U+200A range: "Hair Space", "Thin Space", "Punctuation Space", "Figure Space", "Six-Per-Em Space", "Four-Per-Em Space". It seems that Hair Space, Thin Space, and Six-Per-Em Space are the smallest spaces available.

AFAIK there is no built-in feature to increase the character spacing.

Thomas,

thank you for your fast reply. I am using pdfSharp and based on your answer there's no good reason for switching to MigraDoc,so I'll just draw character by character. Thanks.

Cheers!
