    No choice on that, unfortunately it's the dmv and they can't do anything right. There shouldn't be any space. I contimplated using a little red paint to extend the I.

    My friend wanted COBRAR on his R, and it came back COBR AR.

    Stupid registry...

    That's why I went with just a three character plate.. OOR

    Was anything like ZZZ or ZZZZ or MYZ350 available ?

    Technically there is not a space there. The area for each letter is equal. It doesn't look right because the "I" is so skinny. The P and the T are wider at the top and very narrow at the bottom, which adds to the look of space. Optical illusion.

    I got it right away.

    Again, an optical illusion. To the left of the A, there appears to be more space because of the indent in the R. To the right of the A, the solid line on the left of the R appears to be closer. It isn't.

    In typography, graphic designers compensate for even letter spacing by kerning.
