Is there a way to change the character spacing or do I have to load a new font? Thanks!

fill(255);

f = createFont("Arial", 20*4, true);

textFont(f);

textSize(52);

text("TEST", -190, -110);

Ok seems this has to be done using a loop and drawing each character separately:

// write text

fill(0);

int fontSize = 30;

int fontXPos = 25;

textFont(createFont("Verdana", fontSize, true));

drawText("BLAH",fontXPos,fontSize,90);

drawText("TEST",fontXPos,590,55);

void drawText(String message, int fontXPos, int fontYPos, int charSpacing){

for (int i = 0; i < message.length(); i++) {

text(message.charAt(i),fontXPos,fontYPos);

fontXPos += charSpacing;

}

AFAIK, Processing doesn't offer such setting.
