Edit Font Spacing

Edit Font Spacing

(OP)
I have a font that I would like to use on my survey plats.  The only problem is the words appear to close to one another.  Is there a way to edit (enlarge) the space character of the particular font?

I'm using LDD 2007.

The font that appears crisp to me is plain old "Arial".  Maybe someone has thought the same about the font and found an alternative solution to the problem.

Thanks for your time.

RE: Edit Font Spacing

If you are using MTEXT and are in edit mode, you can highlight the line and set the TRACKING number upward to "space" them apart more.

I tried that and it works, but it's not quite what i'm looking for.  I would just like to have the space character larger.  Is this a possibilty?

RE: Edit Font Spacing

You can highlight a SPACE character, apply a new width factor and then copy it and when you type in a space, Paste it in.
