Ability to change character spacing
Problem description
It would be very nice to be able to set character spacing (space between characters - also called letter spacing).
Some other editors provide a setting to change character spacing. Terminal app for MacOS also allows this.
I would imagine somebody has reported this a long time ago but I couldn't find it in the issues. Direct me if duplicate.
Additional Information (optional)
You can see the difference character spacing creates in the screenshots below.
no_round is not really about character spacing though. And it doesn’t change character spacing, it changes how the characters are rendered. Thanks anyway.
Please add support for this! VS Code also supports this with a editor.letterSpacing config.
please add support for this. Many fonts with low letter spacing are not readable due to this 🙁
Been hoping this would be added for the last.. seven or so years? It's a really valuable feature for me in the apps that have it (terminal emulators, VSCode and so on)
What is the name of the font being used in your editor?
It is called Envy Code R

I think the problem is that Sublime has been seen as mostly feature-complete by the devs for years.
For a really fast editor which might incorporate more (optional) features down the line - hopefully without eventually becoming bloated and sluggish - I am starting to think Zed might become a better option.
