Default Position a string by the pixel unit

Hi all,

Is it possible to position or pad a string by the pixel unit? By now,
space() is base on character.

There are other monospaced fonts apart from courier!

For Excel, you can position almost, repeat, almost all shapes including
controls and word art by using pixels. When you refer to strings, I assume
you mean like text and non-numeric characters in cells or in dialog boxes,
list boxes, combo boxes, etc.
I believe you are stuck with ens and ems (space).

It would depend somewhat on where/what you trying to achieve.
If within a cell, you are pretty limited on position, but formatting of
font/size etc can be done on each char, by using Characters.
You can use a label to position text anywhere, but then are limited to a
single font/format.
