I want to edit character spacing of a TTF font. I mean when you write "Hello", I need to change the font so that it was looking like "H e l l o". I have installed TTFEdit and in advanced I have found a bunch of parameters called OS/2 but I don't understand how to change the spacing. Experimenting and manuals didn't help either. Please help. Maybe I need to use another tool?

This is usually called kerning, look for something like that... – EkriirkE – 2014-05-20T23:44:02.140
There is nothing called kerning in parameters. – Narek – 2014-05-20T23:45:54.833
It's possible its an attribute to each character, not the font as a whole – EkriirkE – 2014-05-20T23:51:55.990
Please tell me how? And also see the wiki where it is written:"Kerning adjusts the space between individual letter forms, while tracking (letter-spacing) adjusts spacing uniformly over a range of characters." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerning) I need to change the tracking.
