Question

Can you control the width and height of characters in a RichEditableText input field

We have an application that requires a user to be able to select a font for the RichEditableText.  The user must then be able to specify a new character width for the characters displayed in the RichEditableText field without changing the font size.  If the height is changed, a new font size is calculated and the font size applied to the RichEditableText.  Calculating a new font size from the user specified height can be done through an algorithm.   Is it even possible to change the character width of characters in a RichEditableText field?

How would you do this in some other technology? I suppose you could apply a scale factor to the text, but other graphics like the insert cursor might get scaled along with it.
