[comp.windows.x] Specifying character spacing?

slosser@ntsc-rd.navy.MIL ("Steve Slosser") (05/08/91)

Can anyone tell me if I can specify text inter-character spacing in an
X application?  i.e., is the spacing between the beginning of one character
and the next, in a displayed string of text, setable or is fixed for each
character within a font?
