The normal (default) value for the font spacing is zero. You can set the font spacing to a negative or a positive value. If you set the value to less than zero, then the spacing between letters decreases; if you set the value to greater than zero, then the spacing increases. Notice that the spacing property applies to the whole segment. If you want to change the spacing selectively, to individual gaps between letters, you can use the Kerning Handles. See "Adjusting the Space between letters." To change font spacing: 1 2 3 4 Select the text object you want to alter. In the Text area of the Properties panel, click in the Spacing field to select it.
