For example, the spacing after a 'm' or a '- ' is larger than other characters. The problem seems to occur only with some fonts, but Times New Roman is what I want to use. I've tried using other sizes, other fonts, etc. Interestingly enough, Lucidabright has the opposite problem. The '-' extends into the space after it. How annoying. Clues please? p.s. There's some -advocacy in this as I'm going to be using this workstation for a presentation at an upcoming talk to a Linux User Group and this is one little nit I'd like to get solved.
