Manually define spacing for every character. Maybe something like this (could be improved to use a smaller array, but fine for an example):

PHP Code:

new Float:CharSpace[1024];

SetupCharSpace()
{
    CharSpace['0'] = 0.8;
    CharSpace['1'] = 0.4;
    CharSpace['W'] = 1.2;
    // Etc.
}

CountStringSpacesEquivalent(const str[])
{
    new Float:space;

    for (new i, len = strlen(str), c; i < len; i++)
    {
        c = str[i];
        space += CharSpace[c];
    }

    return floatround(space);
}
