Actually, you didn't get "News Gothic BT" from Adobe. The BT is short for Bitstream (the type foundry/vendor), and their version of this century-old classic will very likely have different metrics than Adobe's - you will want to get your PC version from then as well.
Adobe still makes the old Type 1 ("PostScript") fonts available for purchase on the Adobe.com web site, although we mostly recommend OpenType these days. We haven't made a new Type 1 font since 1999.
