Sadly i’ve not found a quick solution to the space between letters that didn’t involve editing the font directly using a font editor tool. It’s on my radar of things to solve and i’ll post about it as soon as I find one

Very useful information!
I applied it to the FontAwesome TTF, which I use in the BButton+FontAwesome category. The larger the font gets the worse it looks without this fix.

Hi Daniele, What you have suggested is one way to resolve the issue but it doesn’t fix the problem and you need to do this every time you use the custom font. My solution actually fixes the custom font to work with iOS’s rendering engine allowing you to use it as a direct replacement for the standard fonts without any modifications.

cool, but I prefer just to play with label\button’s inset.
