Hi,
I've searched loads already and couldn't find an answer.
I have a normal UILabel, defined this way:
UILabel *totalColors = [[[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(5, 7, 120, 69)] autorelease];
totalColors.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", total];
totalColors.font = [UIFont fontWithName:@"Arial-BoldMT" size:60];
totalColors.textColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:221/255.0 green:221/255.0 blue:221/255.0 alpha:1.0];
totalColors.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
[self addSubview:totalColors];
And I wanted the horizontal spacing between letters, to be tighter, whilst mantaining the font size.
Is there a way to do this? It should be a pretty basic thing to do.
Cheers guys, Andre
