Yes, but it's important to see that this is true for the "spacing of a run
of text" --- depending on the software, though, that created the original
PDF, there may be multiple such runs in a text line, each of them starting
with a Tm operator setting the text matrix. In this case, the operands of
these Tm operators would have to be changed, too. Then there are those ugly
constructs for poor man's bold effects by printing text twice with a small
offset which will break when merely character spacing is changed. And who
knows what else is out there...

But, after all, the primary task seems to be a change of fonts with clearly
different metrics, and indeed,
