  Graphics g(...);
  g.DrawString("ffffffffffffffffffffffffff", ...);
  
  And the result looks like this: "fffffffffffff f f f f f"
  
  about a half of this string is drawn normaly but another part is drawn with other interval between characters.
  Has anyone ever faced with this? any solution?

  Not sure why this happens, but try with less 'f' characters until it doesn't happen...

  Or, use a char buffer and store the string there and pass that as the parameter.

  Whether the string is passed through any buffer as a parameter or not - it doesn't metter. If i draw a string "fffffff..." or "jjjjjj..." with a length less then 30 chars it's allright, if more - than i get the string drawn with verious distance between chars. And everything that takes place only when certain fonts are used "Arial, Verdana, ..." for "Times, Courier,.." - it's ok.
  I found one way to fix that : Set TextRenderingHintAntiAlias and everything seems working fine but the string is drawn very smoothed.
