Description
Use this command to change the inter-character spacing (known as tracking).
The \stretched
command is actually just a frontend for the \kern
command. And the value of factor
isn’t multiplied by the kerning specified by the font, but rather added to it. So, to decrease the distance between characters, factor
should be negative. And to increase it, factor
should be positive.

Example 1
\ruledhbox{\stretched[width=2cm]{\bfd to the limit}} \ruledhbox{\stretched[width=4cm]{\bfd to the limit}} \ruledhbox{\stretched[width=6cm]{\bfd to the limit}} \ruledhbox{\stretched[width=8cm]{\bfd to the limit}} \ruledhbox{\stretched[width=10cm]{\bfd to the limit}}
