Smile inserts a space between each character. Any hints why?
Sure. "characters [blah] as text" use the text item delimiters, and the text item delimiters in your configuration are not properly set to "" (the default).
On one hand, it would be safer programming to set explicitly the text item delimiters before you use "them".
On the other hand, you might want to use "text 1 thru (offP-1)" instead of your construction, which would not involve the text item delimiters at all.
On the third hand, we authors of Smile are doing our best to reset the text item delimiters to the default value whenever required, since we are aware of this kind of problem. Could you please tell us what version of Smile you are using?
Thanks.
Emmanuel
