Hi Guys,

I currently use a font(verdana.ttf) which is copied from Windows, but I
found that the distance between the characters is somewhat large, anybody
know how to adjust ?

You'll probably have to adjust with a font editor.  Does the font
look very different from when displayed in Windows?  If so, make
sure font kerning is turned on.
