This is the screen shot of my gnome-terminal:
You can see that all the text is messed up. The username is heman and the host name is arch linux but the characters are not even readable because they are sticked to each other how can I fix this problem. How can I increase the letter spacing

Is it only your prompt that is affected? What about commands you issue and the other text that appears?

The font you use in your terminal is not a monospaced font or the configuration file of the terminal has a font size your font doesn't accept.
Probably it's located in /etc/vconsole.conf:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Linux_console#Fonts
Preview and temporary changes Tip: An organized library of images for
previewing is available: Linux console fonts screenshots.$ showconsolefontshows a table of glyphs or letters of a font.
setfont temporarily change the font if passed a font name (in
/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/) such as
$ setfont lat2-16 -m 8859-2So to have a small 8x8 font, with that
font installed like seen below, use e.g.:
$ setfont -h8 /usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/drdos8x8.psfu.gzFont names
are case-sensitive. With no parameter, setfont returns the console to
the default font.
Tip: All font changing commands can be typed in "blind". Note: setfont
only works on the console currently being used. Any other consoles,
active or inactive, remain unaffected.
