For example, I want the message to print out exactly like the script text (also fixed width). Instead, it looks like this:

Text message spacing
Is there a way to increase the amount of space used for when you use 'space'? Right now, each space seems to be 5 pixels wide, but the fixed width font I'm using is 9 pixels, which can cause some issues with aligning text in multi-line messages. Is there a way to increase that to 9 pixels for each space (or maybe decrease it to 3)?

Re: Text message spacing
Assuming you're defining your own font in [wiki]FONTDEFS[/wiki], you want "SPACEWIDTH 9" in the font definition.
Re: Text message spacing
Oh nice. Now I don't have to use dollar signs replaced with blank squares for each space anymore.
Also, what if you just want to use the same font (FONTA, FONTAY), but just want to change one or two things with it. Do I have to define a brand new font for it?

Re: Text message spacing
The definition will have to be for a new font, yes... You may be able to re-use the same font character images (and not have to include duplicate letters), though, depending on what you're changing.
Re: Text message spacing
Alright, except now fontdefs is being a tremendous headache. Even just trying to define this font is going nowhere right now.
