mtext with tracking

[krzysiek.olak]

Hello everyone,
Please let me know how to correctly use mtext with text formatting (tracking - spacing between characters).

(setq a (list 0 0))

(setq b (list 10 10))

(setq c 1000)

(command "_.mtext" a b c "")

OK

(setq a (list 0 0))

(setq b (list 10 10))

(setq c {\T0.8; 1000})

(command "_.mtext" a b c "")
NOK

NOK

It needs to be a string. And doubled backslash.

Command example on one line.

(command "_.mtext" "0,0" "20,20" "{\\T0.8; 1000}" "")

Better turn off osnaps too by using non override.

(command "_.mtext" "_non" "0,0" "_non" "20,20" "{\\T0.8; 1000}" "")

A list is also possible (probably preferable in LISP):

(command "_.mtext" "_non" '(0 0) "_non" '(20 20) "{\\T0.8; 1000}" "")
