Changing Font Spacing

The font spacing setting adds a specified amount of space
between each letter. Thus, if you wanted to add space between
your letters, you could enter a 2 in the Spacing box. You can
use this parameter to make the spaces between the letters less
than zero. If the spacing is set at zero, the default, then the
normal kerning operation for the font is used. If the spacing is
set to less than zero, then the spacing between letters
decreases; if it is set to a value greater than zero, than the
spacing increases. If you want to individually adjust the letter
spacing, you can do so by adjusting the letters with the kerning
handles.
To change font spacing:
1 Select the text object you want to alter.
2 In the Text area of the Properties panel, click in the Spacing
field to select it.
3 Enter the font spacing value you want to use.
4 Click Apply to save your changes.
You see your text's letter spacing altered accordingly.

Width Percentage

The purpose of width percentage is twofold: to change the width
of a text object for appearance or to adjust the width so that it
fits the hoop better. The Width Percentage adjustment
automatically gets updated when you drag the Width Handle on
the text object.
If you are aligning the text to other objects, such as other text
objects, then this setting can be used to keep your alignment
sharp.
