Hello,

I want to get more space between words in a nice font called Digital Sans. Standartly it`s have too small space between words, so it`s bad readalbe. How can I change this in Fontlab? Thank you.

Open the font in FontLab. Open the space glyph (Unicode: 0020). Go to View / Lock Layers / Glyph Metrics and turn the lock off. Change the width of the glyph by moving the right sidebearing line or use Tools / Transform / Metrics / Set width.
