Ive been trying to seperate letters in order to make Specific Text Effects which arent possible normally

I was able to make this code to do so

local function cText(textLabel)
	local text = textLabel.Text
	local font = textLabel.Font
	local textSize = textLabel.TextSize
	local totalTextWidth = 0
	local maxHeight = 0
	local Letters = {}
	local TextSizeInfo = {}

	local startX = (textLabel.AbsoluteSize.X - totalTextWidth) / 2 
	local startY = (textLabel.AbsoluteSize.Y - maxHeight) / 2 

	local totalWidth = startX 
	for i = 1, #text do
		local letter = text:sub(i, i)
		local textSizeInfo = textService:GetTextSize(letter, textSize, font,Vector2.one*1000)

		local letterLabel = Instance.new("TextLabel")
		letterLabel.Text = letter
		letterLabel.Size = UDim2.new(0, textSizeInfo.X, 0, textSizeInfo.Y)
		letterLabel.Position = UDim2.new(0, totalWidth + 0, 0, startY + (maxHeight - textSizeInfo.Y) / 2)
		letterLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
		letterLabel.TextSize = textSize
		letterLabel.Font = font
		letterLabel.TextColor3 = textLabel.TextColor3
		letterLabel.TextStrokeTransparency = textLabel.TextStrokeTransparency
		letterLabel.TextStrokeColor3 = textLabel.TextStrokeColor3
		letterLabel.Parent = textLabel
		letterLabel.Visible = false
		table.insert(Letters, letterLabel)
		table.insert(TextSizeInfo, textSizeInfo)
		totalWidth = totalWidth + textSizeInfo.X
	end
	return Letters, TextSizeInfo
end

The issue is for specific letters like e they have an offset which seems to be dynamic
