- A couple of things could be going on here. If you have the fonts setup
- to substitute, it is substituting for a similar font. The most likely
- cause of your spacing problem is the fact that all printers are different.
- Unless you have the identical printer as the current default on BOTH
- machines, the spacings will be slightly different. You can see this on
- the screen by selecting a dot-matrix printer and viewing your document,
- then selecting a laser printer you can see the spacing change on your
- screen.
