Characters Spacing Not being applied to spaces

I am working with a monospaced font, however I need to adjust the character spacing to meet my desired text layout. The curious thing, is that the character spacing is not applied to spaces as it applied to every other character.  I can also adjust the word spacing, however that only adjusts a single space in a continuous string of spaces.

Is there anything I can do to reduce the "space" between space characters??
