Hi it's me again ;)
Thanks to William and Phlip I am able to adjust the spacing between
characters in any given string. My current issue arises when I try to
apply some number formatting with the numprint package (Harald Harders)
http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/numprint/?action=/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/
numprint performs a check on its input to make sure it is dealing with
numbers and such:
! Package numprint Error: Invalid characters `\def ' in mandatory argument
of
(numprint) \numprint. Allowed are
(numprint) `0123456789.,eEdD+-\pm '.
I get the above error whenever I try to use it in the following context:
Using letterspace:
\letterspace to 0.8 \naturalwidth {\numprint{9999999,99}}
or
\numprint{\letterspace to 0.8 \naturalwidth {9999999,99}}
and
Using soul
\sodef\an{}{-.3pt}{2pt plus1em}{2em plus.1em minus.1em}
\an{\numprint{999999,99}}
or
\numprint{\an{999999,99}}
Any suggestions as to how I can get \numprint to format the data and not
be impacted by the negative tracking macros?
