i have tried setting padding zero, doesn't work. ideas?

padding in font not in drawing system in android ! can :

1- add typeface font dealing such typing purposess

2- or try create own font can use private character edit in xp more info take on : http://www.techtipsgeek.com/design-font-characters-own-choice-windows-xp/1621/

3-better practices, try use images typing patters.

but note when make working, use shipped typeface font application because cannot guarantee devices use same font use create patters.

good luck,

mohammed,
