The API call to use is SetTextCharacterExtra(Handle, integer) where the if you
set the integer to a negative the characters are spaced closer together and
setting the integer to positive moves the characters further apart. On a
cooler note, you can do funky font 'dancing' by playing with the spacing. I
will eventually get this into my text control... :-)
