I just tried to use the Beverly Hills font on my Mac II with interesting
results.  It looks just fine, but, using Word V3.0, if I single-underline
a word (NOT the spaces on either side of the word) the underline extends
itself around an inch (a variable amount) to the left of the word, underlining
part of the previous word.  Note that the underline isn't REALLY attached
to the previous word (it does NOT have the underline attribute), and changing
the selected word from single to double-underline corrects the problem (ie
double-underline works just fine).

The same copy of the font works just fine on a Mac Plus also running System
4.1.  Does anyone know what's going on?

Thanks,

Jeff Harrow
