T h i s is called in german "S p e r r s c h r i f t". There are two solutions:

load file letterspacing.sty from CTAN and save it in a directory where LaTeX finds it. Don't forget a texhash. In preamble write
```
\input letterspacing.tex
```
and in the text use it as:
```
\letterspacing to 2\naturalwidth{Sperrschrift}
```
Than it's written with double spacing.
In preamble write
```
\usepackage{soul}
```
This package is part of your local TeX-Installation, otherwise get it from CTAN and save it in a directory where LaTeX finds it. Don't forget a texhash. In the text you can use the predefined command
```
\so{other spacing}
```
or define anotherone with a special spacing:
```
\sodef\mySpace{\bf}{0.4em}{1em plus 1em}{2em plus .1em minus .1em}
```
For more information have a look at the soul-documentation.
With the soul-package hyphenation is possible.
