Letter spacing in canvas element

Question

The question says it all pretty much. I\'ve been searching around and starting to worry that it\'s impossible.

I\'ve got this canvas element that I\'m drawing text t

Answer 1

You can't set letter-spacing as a property of the Canvas context. You can only achieve the effect by doing manual spacing, sorry. (As in, drawing each letter manually increasing the x by some pixel amount on each)

For the record, you can set a few text properties by using ctx.font but letter-spacing is not one of them. The ones you can set are: "font-style font-variant font-weight font-size/line-height font-family"

For instance you can technically write ctx.font = "bold normal normal 12px/normal Verdana" (or any omission of any of those) and it will parse correctly.
