If the Fractional Widths feature is used, the Font Manager looks into
the first word of the FOND resource if there's a width table for that font.
If this word says it is, but there isn't, the character widths are taken
from some random part of memory.
This provides for some very interesting effects with some programs.

Unfortunately, since Fractional Widths is defaulted OFF, this usually
does not have any effects.

How to fix it:
Use ResEdit to open the "FOND" resource of the font which is giving you these
problems. The very first entry should read $0000.
Change that to $6000.
That's it.

This incorrect FOND resource was probably created by FONTastic. I suspect
that an older version of the Font/DA Mover also left this word at zero because
about all my ImageWriter fonts are affected by this problem.
(Well, after two days' work... now they had been affected.)
