I am having a lot of trouble with this. I have followed Griffpatch's text Engine tutorial perfectly yet there is still something wrong with this. I am having trouble with the spacing between the letters and I have continued on with the series in other projects, ignoring the spacing issue, and it has resulted in massive bugs. If someone will PLEASE figure this out, I will feature you on my latest project I am creating. My idea is that the list “FONT HALVES” inputs are too small for the letters but when I tried multiplying the width by a value, it didn't work.
The link I shared is the project on which I am having trouble with. Can someone try to fix it? I have been trying for hours!

On my end all of your code is separated and a bunch of the code that is in the tutorial isn't there. Either you may have missed a large part of the tutorial or when making it your project stopped saving. Unless it's on an unshared or unsaved project (you are working on it now and didn't save or you made and are working on the copy), then you kinda have to start over unfortunately. If it is on an unshared project or unsaved then please save and share the project.

I got to about half the first episode where Griffpatch made the FONT HALVES list and was testing to see whether the clones where far enough apart but close enough together

Also, I am curious to know how to have the fonts or texts as different sizes. Like, Griffpatch has the text engine only for one specific text size at a time. Would anyone know how to change that? (also I figured out how to fix my original problem before this quote)

According to your other post, it seems you didn't finish the tutorial. If you did, you should know it DOES work with different font sizes. You just have to run the script that changes the FONT HALVES list.

I know that it does that. However, I continued doing the tutorial in a different project but did it with the bug, making it not work. I just need to know why the font sizes are too small. Also, Griffpatch does his series with the Write block on screen refresh, I want to do it without, so it gives the impression that everything is being typed.

You need screen refresh. You can just add a block later (like before the clone block) to delay the clone by a second and get that typed feel (this isn't an exact replica to follow but rather an example):

define Custom code block for making the clones
some code hereeee
repeat (length of (sentence length))
wait (.2) secs
change [id v] by (1)
create clone of [myself v]
end
I think there is code here too

Also all you need to do is make the sprite bigger for the font to be:

set size to (125) %
