Hello TeXperts,

     Here is a question not covered by FAQ and I can't seem to get 
around with it by reading manuals alone, so I post it.  I have used
Poorman's pmfont to generate a Chinese font for use with TeX/LaTeX.
However, when printed, the inter-character spacing between Chinese
characters is a bit too wide, and the problem is the font.  But I
don't want to spend many hours messing with METAFONT because I am
entirely new to it.  So, to solve my problem (in a dirty way) and
also to satisfy my curiosity, I would like to know how to change
the inter-character spacing in TeX/LaTeX.  Thanks for any sugges-
tions.  I'll post a summary if there are enough interests.
