Title Body

I'd like to modify the spacing between characters in a WPF TextBox. Something like the letter-spacing: 5px thing that is available in CSS. I think it is possible in XAML; what's the simplest way? I found the " Introduction to the GlyphRun Object and Glyphs Element " document, and found it to be exceedingly unhelpful. This is a code example from that page:  <Glyphs FontUri = "C:\WINDOWS\Fonts\ARIAL.TTF" FontRenderingEmSize = "36" UnicodeString = "Hello World!" Indices = ",80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80;,80" Fill = "Maroon" OriginX = "50" OriginY = "225" /> The same documentation page gives this "explanation" for what the Indices property does: I have no idea what any of that means. I'm also not sure that Indices is the right thing - the comment in the code speaks of "character widths" which I don't care about. I want to adjust the width between characters. Also, there is no example for how to apply a Glyphs element to a TextBox. When I tried it, my WPF test app just crashed. What I want to do is slightly increase the empty space that appears between drawn characters within a WPF TextBox. The text will vary in length and content. Do I have to modify the Indicies property every time there is a new character? Is there a way to say "make it 20% more space than usual, for every character". Can anybody help me?
