Label Node Letter Spacing / Kerning

Does anyone know if the Label node or any other Scenegraph component supports setting the letter spacing or Kerning? I suppose it would be possible to do this manually by breaking each letter into its own label with an offset based on the previous letter, but that would get out of hand way too fast, especially with custom fonts. I am using custom fonts / Font nodes in my project but this should apply to any font in theory.

Was this possible with the 2D API? Is Scenegraph just lacking it?

And if this isn't possible, does Roku have any plans on adding it as a feature to the Scenegraph SDK for nodes that support text rendering?
