Description Jürgen Mangler 2003-07-27 11:28:09 UTC 
In different programs (e.g. photoshop) text is rendered with different
character spacings. An option to change the character spacing in px (like
linespacing) would be very time-saving, cause now you have to shift every
single letter.

Unfortunately this is not-trivial since Pango doesn't allow to tune
this setting. I have some code on my disk that implements it by adding
shape attributes between glpyh clusters. I don't think this will make
it into 2.0 though. I might add the text property now to make it
easier to implement this in a backward-compatible fashion for 2.2.
