Spacing in text object?

Is there a way to space the spacing between characters in the text object?

There's no way?

I can't be sure, but the normal text object doesn't look like it supports kerning.

Here's one way to do it using the canvas object and pasting one letter at a time. In between letters the text object is moved by the actual width of the letter + any additional spacing wanted.

Another possible option would be to use the SpriteFont plugin, and adjust the value for 'space size'. Then you could interspace the characters with the space.

Or add an arbitrary ammount of space characters between each letter of your string using a loop... Not quite as handy as the other methods mentionned, but hey, it's the easiest one ! <img src="smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" align="middle" />

Sprite Object doesn't have set X or Y.

Also, thank you R0J0hound.

Simply attach to object(use itself i.e. spritefont) then you can set x and y offsets.
