Description

Please make it possible to set letter spacing on FlxText. It's important to be able to do this if you happen to be working with a bold font in order to increase readability.

Also, a way of adjusting the position of specific characters slightly in order to do that letter-wiggle effect you see in some games? Alternatively, a tutorial or snippet that demonstrates how to do this in the cheatsheet or something.
