[Himanshu Joshi]

you can use width of "M" character if its Latin font.

just use whatever fixed size you want between characters instead of that returned by the font?  It's certainly easier to go to monospace than to variable space from a mono font

Given any typical font, not necessarily a monospace one, how can I
render text in a monospace style? I've tried messing around with
drawing the bitmaps of the glyphs individually, but I can never get
the x and y alignment between glyphs right. I'm using OpenGL and
python, but the answer should be adaptable to any graphics context or
language. I've also opened a question on SO if anyone wanted to use
that.

Apologies if I screw something up, I'm new to mailing lists.
