I'm not sure I understand your question.  Character spacing in a 
TrueType font is specified inside the font.  Are you saying you want to 
override the spacing?  Such a thing almost always produces very bad 
looking results.  Are you trying to get your cells justified, or trying 
to get fixed spacing from a proportional font?  Perhaps if you gave an 
example of what you're after, we could offer suggestions.
