Define character/font width?

Hello,

I've got the problem that I work with 2 fonts which unfortunately have
identical height (size), but a different width. Is there a way to define
the font width or character width? In MS Word you can extend characters
(make them wider) without changing the height - that's exactly what I
want to do.

However, I need to do this with a font object, because I want to pass
the font object to a RichTextBox.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Best regards,

Martin
