I'm having kerning problems when using the equation editor that is part of 
Word 5.1a with ITC Garamond (from Adobe).  For instance, use the equation
editor to produce absolute-value-D, where D is capital, italic, Palatino.
On screen, the D looks nicely centered between the vertical bars.  Print
it on a PostScript printer (from Word).  Still looks nice.  Now change
the D from Palatino to ITC Garamond.  Looks nice on screen.  Print it.
The D runs into the righthand bar.  Looks really ugly.  This is only
one example of many kerning problems I'm having.  There are enough that
massaging the kerning by hand really isn't an option.  Has anyone else
run into this?  Is there a solution, other than don't use ITC Garamond?

Version of Word is 5.1a; ITC Garamond is from Adobe; am using ATM 3.0.
Have tried printing with Fractional Widths on and off.  Have tried printing
on several different PostScript printers, using several print drivers,
including LW 8.1.1.  

Any help you can offer would be appreciated!
