How To Easily Set Flutter Text Letter Spacing

In this Flutter post, we will be implementing the Flutter text letter spacing and explaining it step by step using an easy Flutter example. Everything about Flutter text letter spacing will be discussed so you can have an in depth understanding of what letter spacing in Flutter text is and how to use it in your own Flutter apps.

What is Flutter Text Letter Spacing?

Flutter text letter spacing is the space between the letters(not between words) of the Flutter text. Let’s say we have a word ‘Text’ so what Flutter text letter spacing will do to that word will look like this ‘T e x T’. Hope you now know the usage of Flutter text letter spacing. Let’s now understand it more clearly with a practical Flutter example code.

Default Flutter Text Letter Spacing

To see what the default Flutter text letter spacing looks like, we have to implement a Flutter text widget with some text. See the below given code:

Text(
   'Default Letter Spacing'
          )

The default Flutter text letter spacing can be seen in the above given image.

Change Flutter Text Letter Spacing

Let’s now see how to change Flutter text letter spacing. For that, we have to use the style constructor of the Flutter text widget class and pass it text style class. Now by using the letter spacing constructor of the text style class, we can easily change the letter spacing in Flutter text. This letter spacing constructor takes a double(decimal value) but passing an integer value to it won’t be a problem, it will convert it automatically.

For demonstration, we have passed it a value of 3. See the below given code:

Text(
    'Custom Letter Spacing',
    style: TextStyle(letterSpacing: 3)
          )

As you can see in the above image that the letter spacing in Flutter text is now changed successfully.
