Removing spaces between characters in MD_Parola

Question

I'm using ESP8266 and Max7219 module (8*32) and MD_Parola library. To create my own font, at first I used of MDParolaFontEditor and created the following fonts.

I edited file MD_MAX72xx_font.cpp using Arduino IDE and saved them as 150 and 151. I want to have the output as the following.

But, the output is as:

As you can see, there is a space between them! I think this space is automatically added between characters. My problem is that, how can I remove this space?

My code:

void loop () {
char MyText[]={151,150,0};
P.displayText(MyText, PA_CENTER, 0, 0, PA_PRINT, PA_NO_EFFECT);
P.displayAnimate(); 
delay(3000);
}

Answer 1

add this line in the void setup part

P.setCharSpacing(0);

Answer 2

The matrix with the extra space is 9 (not 8) columns wide (possibly because is was designed to be able to display a colon on a clock).
