[TYPO3] [GIFBUILDER] why does spacing render so ugly?

[Tomasz Chmielewski]

Why does "spacing" in GIFBUILDER render so ugly?

According to the TSref description "spacing" is "Pixel-distance between 
letters. This may render ugly!".

So, here a word "optimal", no spacing:

Looks fine, but I would like to add some spacing to it - let's add 
"spacing = 1", which should be "Pixel-distance between letters = 1 
pixel", right? No:

It looks more like "letter-distance" between letters, not 
"pixel-distance" (note the distance after "m" letter).


Is there a way to add pixel distance between the letters?
