    TppLabel does not support specifying character spacing.

    An example of a custom component can be located in Demos\RCL. The example
    code is heavily commented. Learning this code is the best place to start.

    The source code to the Label is located in ppCtrls.pas. You will also need
    to create a custom draw command, see ppDrawCmd.pas for the class
    TppDrawText. Here is some info on draw commands.
