Cool! Not sure how to work around the way /space works though. I'm
thinking it maps to SetTextCharacterExtra (under Windows) while what
we really want is something that maps to SetTextJustification that
tells the drawing functions how much space to add to each *break*
character when the text is rendered.
Alternately, we could take a low tech approach if imperfect results
for proportional fonts is acceptable; just add spaces to the text. :)
