In the chart I am generating the space between the Quarter and Year is more pronounced than it should be, it looks more like two spaces. Looking into the object further I noticed that the two are completely separate text fields.  Is there a way to adjust the spacing between them, or to combine them into one text object without entirely removing the space?

In the svg:

<text x = '-12.5' y = '3.322266' >
<![CDATA[Q2]]>
</text>
<text x = '2' y = '3.322266' >
<![CDATA[17]]>
</text>
