An answer on social.msdn suggests the use of Glyphs.

Other than that FontStretch allows for some adjustment.

Maybe you can add a Behavior for that TextBox that would go over every character and add a space after it.

Alternatively, If you're using DataBinding, use a Converter with the same logic.

And if you want to go for an overkill, you can make a custom control, that will inherit from TextBox and implement that spacing logic That would also allow you to add a Dependency Property, something like "NumOfSpaces" and you could control how many spaces it would put
