Is it possible to adjust the size of the spaces between words? It's a bit too large for my 10x10 character size. Also, can the spacing between individual characters be adjusted? Thinner letters have quite a gap between them, if you consider somethign like "M" and "I".
I know this is possible. Podunkian once had a small tutorial on how it's done. The way I THOUGHT it worked is that you first create an array that lists the width of each character. You have to enter this data manually. Then you use the Text Blitter's callback and set each character's width or spacing based on the data in the array.
Except there IS no callback for character spacing, and if you set a character's width through callback, it doesn't automatically adjust the next character in line accordingly.
So I'm not totally sure how Podunkian did it. The only thing I can think of is to make another array that has a running sum of where each character is on a line (you'd need a loop to run through each character, then save that to the array), and adjust the characters' positions based on that data.
Or if you can figure out a way to contact Podunkian, he might still know.
