Julian, 

I know exactly what you mean, and I'd be interested to know why fixed spacing is so important to you. I remember dealing with this about 10 years back when I worked under a govt. contract where "page integrity" was esssential (when issuing a revision, the page had to look *exactly* as it did except for where the changes were). We were using FM version 3 or 4 and if I remember right, I think one of the problems was that different printers would handle the spacing differently. And I think it also had to do with the idea that with computer fonts there's really no such thing as "fixed pitch" such as you can get with a typewriter (ack!). 

Unfortunatley, I can't offer any solutions because I left the job before the issue was really resolved. (I don't think it ever was - unless they changed the page integrity policy).
