Track kerning, via the .tk request, and word spacing via .ss. Changing what used to be called the "set size" of your type (ie the \s \H combo, which amounts to pseudo-condensing the characters) is last resort territory, and shouldn't generally be used in running text at all, unless the running text has the same alteration throughout. If you're using the mom macros, .EW <n> (extra white) and .RW <n> (reduce white) simplify track kerning (the mnemonics are borrowed from the CompuGraphic 8xxx series command set), and .WS +|-<n> can be used to adjust the wordspacing.
