TextMesh Pro Fixed Value Width to create an Odometer scroll

I am using TMP to create an Odometer effect as I call up new values.
As the font I am using (Arial Reg) has different width characters, my overall number slightly moves in and out along the characters. I would like this to stay constant (see a car odometer).

Is there any way of maintain or setting a default constant size to my number values?

Thanks!

You can use the <mspace=x> </mspace> tag which forces mono spacing on the characters enclosed in the tag.

You can also select a different font or make another font asset from this same font and edit the glyph's metrics such as xBearing and Advance values to normalize them to make sure everything lines up correctly.

This uneven spacing is because of the font being proportional where each digit has different metrics.
