Fractions in text and dimension text.

I'm using a new Architectural Font on my drawings. I have the olique angle set to 15 deg. The problem I'm having is when I type in a whole number with fraction as text, the fractional portion of the text is spaced at a nice distance away from the whole number and the slash between numerator and denominator is not too long. However, when the same type of number is the result of a dimension, the fractional part of the number is, for my liking, too close to the whole number and the slash is very long. What I've described also happens when the olique angle set to 0 deg. Is there anyway to fix this? Is the horizontal spacing of text adjustable? Are there any fonts out there that provide the same appearance whether they are input as text or as dimensions?
Any advice is appreciated.
 
I define a new text style, like ArchNarrow and in the style properties, set the text width to 0.8 for example.
