I've created a font in Fontographer. It is saved as Type 1. It displays as it should in an Win200 environment. It is OK in FrameMaker, Illustrator, Indesign, Corel, Quark etc. So up till that point everything is grand. 

BUT. 

When using this SAME font on a different machine (both PC and MAC) the font (i.e the characters are shifted approx 40/1000 em to the left). It goes for ALL products on these other machines. In my case 40/1000 em is not acceptable 

Then if the font is redesigned in Fontographer on this other machine to look OK there, then it makes the same shift (to the right) on my machine. 

What in the darn is going on. 

I've have tried to make the configuration identical on all machines: printers, PPD, ATM and so forth.
