SCS — Set Character Spacing
Format
SCS distance;
Parameter
distance:
character-to-character spacing, or 0
Function
The SCS command sets the distance from the beginning of one character to the
beginning of the next character.
When a proportionally-spaced font is used and the font mode (FTMD) is 0 to 3 or 8 to
11, SCS 0 (zero) must be specified to obtain the innate spacing of each character. A non-
zero specification results in unnatural spacing of proportional fonts.
SCS 0 does not change the width of the space character.
The character spacing can be set using either the SCS or the SCPI command.
