[Windows] CharacterSpacing not applied to Placeholder text in Entry and Editor controls

[LogishaSelvarajSF4525]

Description

In .NET MAUI, the CharacterSpacing property is not applied for Placeholder text in both the Entry and Editor controls on Windows. While the property works correctly for the Text content, it does not apply to the Placeholder.

Steps to Reproduce

• Create a .NET MAUI app EntryIssue.zip.
• Add an Entry and Editor control to a ContentPage.
• Set CharacterSpacing to 5, and provide both Text and Placeholder.
• Run the app on Windows.
• Observe that on Windows, CharacterSpacing is applied only to Text, not Placeholder.

Expected Behavior

• The CharacterSpacing value should be applied consistently to both the Text and Placeholder in Entry and Editor controls.

Actual Behavior

• The CharacterSpacing is applied only to the Text content.
• The Placeholder text ignores the CharacterSpacing setting and appears with default character spacing.
