adjust Letter Spacing

[niko]

I'm painting text through QPainter::drawText.
How can I adjust the Letter-Spacing?
(add additional space between the characters)

QFont::setStretch doesn't work - as it stretches the whole character.

I think it would be possible to draw one character after the other and calculate the position using QFontMetrics::leftBearing, QFontMetrics::rightBearing and QFontMetrics::width.

But there must be a simpler solution!

thanks, niko

In my experience, you will have to draw one character at a time.

sounds quite a bit complicated...
especially multiline and so on....

thanks

I think you should implement your own text layout implementation for Scribble. Alternatively you can use tabstops (positions for which you can set through QTextOption) to adjust spacing, but it might not look too good.
