You can change the spacing between characters in the text toolbar (tenth icon) or use manual kerning where necessary (Alt+Arrows, Shift+Alt+Arrows).

How to select whole text and set its spacing.
Or best setText spacing for the whole project?

Which version of Inkscape do you have installed, on which OS/platform?
Which font did you use in Inkscape for the text? (If the font is available under a free and open license for download - any chance you could share the link?)

Unfortunately, you didn't provide a screenshot how the text renders for you in Inkscape, nor attach an SVG file which would allow to others to compare with how it renders locally.
