I have the following experience with Corel Draw (specially tested fot this
purpose):
I make a text box and fill it with text, ie: "This text is filling this
string", and the text box was enlarging while writeing this text. So I have
a bounding box, surrounding the text. Next I can make 8 grips surrounding
the text, pick the right-hand grip and enlarge this grip pixel by pixel. At
the same time I see the text, as a whole, getting wider a pixel at a time!
So not just adding white pixels to enlarge the intercharacter spacing, but
actually making the text wider and smaller - without altering the height.

This is EXACTLY the kind of behavior I would like to have. With LOGFONT I
have already the ability to make the text wider and smaller, but the text is
not pixeloriented getting bigger. I think Peter below has a point with his
MetaFile. See the other post-line.

(I'll try your sample the day after tomorrow)
