Issue with controlling the spacing between words/characters is the word wrap in Steemit's style. It is set to make Steemit as responsive as possible for tablets and phones. There are ways to do it but mobile view of post may differ.

📌 Possible Solutions:

• You can use HTML <pre></pre> tags to get your desired function.
  • Demo:

    P R E                 FORMATTED      Text 

• Aside from   there is   x2 as big   x4 as big.
  • For increased distance between elements, use multiple times.
• One last way, you can use a transparent graphic to specified width.
  • Code: Spacing![](http://de.mo/50px-spacer.png)Example!

📌 If you want more control of post layout, learn steemit HTML.
