Ability to draw words with no spacing at all between letters/characters/symbols

[cjnolet]

I've dug into this problem now a few times and it appears to be non-trivial and a product of drawing each letter separately with pygame. I hope there's a way around this, however.

This can be easily done: the x-coordinate (or horizontal location) of characters are decided here (and here). You can make this distance however small you like.

I tried messing witht hose values but didn't seem to be able to get at a difference because making the value too small made the text overlap and since the text sizes are all different, it was hard to reach a single value that would work for every size text. I'll try playing around with this some more to see if I can figure it out. It's also very possible that i"m doing something drastically wrong! lol

You could have a <1 proportion of the character width:
x += p * ch_bounds.width, with p < 1 and something similar for render_curved.

I had tried this originally and it was hard to find a value that worked with every siE text (for every character width). I'll keep trying.
