[solved] Center Text with letterSpacing

habamax

I try to center text with non-default letterSpacing:

@
import QtQuick 2.2
import QtQuick.Window 2.1

Window {
visible: true
width: 360
height: 360

Text {
    text: qsTr("Hello World")
    anchors.centerIn: parent
    font.pointSize: 14
    font.letterSpacing: 20
}

}
@

but have no luck.

Is there a proper way to do it?

It does centering with the above code ? What is the behaviour you observed ? It does put the spacing also at the end of the string as well.

I understand there is a spacing at the end.

Nevertheless the question stays: is it possible to visually center text with big letterspacing?

At least question is not clear to me honestly now

Well it is easy: I want text to be like this

You want extra space in the beginning rather than the end. Is that correct ?

I don't want extra space at the end of the text.

Looks like letterSpacing is a part of a letter and thus text with it could not be centered with anchors.

I wonder if an additional space char at the beginnig of text would help. I'll check it when I back to my pc.

Adding one space at the beginnig of the text solves it. Visually it looks centered.
