Character spacing

Is there a means of specifying the spacing between the characters of the Text UX element?

There is currently no way to adjust kerning or tracking with the basic <Text> element. If you require advanced formatting of text, you can try using a <WebView>, though it probably won’t be a good solution for a lot of cases.

More advanced formatting of text is coming, though I can’t make any promises for when. :slight_smile:

Thanks a lot for the prompt reply.

So far, I am quite impressed with the performance of FuseTools when compared to other well known hybrid mobile application frameworks / engines.

I will wait for those advanced text formatting features.

Keep up with the great job :slight_smile:

That is really unfortunate that Fuse is not provinding any way to play on spacing/kerning. A lot of design features font with thos manipulation. In my case I’m quite stuck, I’ll try to change the default spacing in my font file, but that’s not easy.

It’s coming, there’s plenty that’s not easy which is why they are still in beta

Did you implement the character spacing?

@Denise: no, not really. What Bent implied by the “more advanced text formatting” is a rich-text feature (and not just kerning) that we haven’t yet gotten around to.

Other than that, you could use custom fonts where you need them. I imagine there must be a selection of font families that offer wider spacing between letters as an option.

Thank you :slight_smile:

Our application REQUIRES kerning and custom spacing. When will it be available. I NEED a hard date for this, can someone at the company call me? we need your product plans under NDA as we continue to run into major roadblocks time and time again. Can someone reach out to dave@life.ai
