Answer 1

Might be a limitation of the font - I did it using koodak.ttf (a free font) and had no spacing issues.

I think what I did for a project a long time ago was to loop through the string (an example used here) and use a for loop, or possibly imagettfbbox to measure the width of each character to output the letters in the correct spacing.
