Use Gap to change the spacing between characters in a line of lettering. A negative value brings the letters closer together and a positive value moves them farther apart. Gap can be set from -99 to +99. The settings stay the same until you change them or mySewnet™ Embroidery is closed.
Lowercase characters in Script fonts are not affected by the Gap setting.
Note: Increasing the Gap setting is recommended for Perspective lettering.
Enter a number in the Gap number box.
Use the arrows to increase or decrease the Gap.
Characters are spaced by automatic kerning according to the way that adjacent pairs of characters fit together. For example, the letters 'AV' need less space between them than 'AB' because of the shape of the characters. The Gap setting increases or decreases the spacing set by automatic kerning.
Script fonts have a special joining method where all adjacent lowercase characters are directly joined together and are not affected by the Gap setting.
The Gap is based on the width of the A character. A Gap of 1.0 is equal to 6% of the width of the A character.
To set the spacing between specific letters, set the letters to Individual in the Lettering window. See Individual Letter Monogram.
