Make any text monospaced

How it works

Step 1. Add monospacing

how-to-monotize-1

With a text layer selected, click the "add monospacing" button. You can also remove monospacing with the other button.

Step 2. Adjust spacing

how-to-monotize-2

You can adjust the spacing between characters under the Effect Controls of a text layer with monospacing.
If the alignment seems off, make sure your text layer is set to Metrics instead of Optical.

Step 3. Add variable spacing (optional)

how-to-monotize-3

If you hold shift while clicking the monospace button, it will add a Variable Spacer.
These allow you to set unique spacing for a specified range of your text.
