I would double-check to see that you did not have some, but not all, of the
Apple-version Courier screen fonts installed.  They are different and may
have different spacing somewhere.  Do you have the double font size
installed and are you printing High Quality?  Which word processor?

If by chance your system has Courier in it (standard) and you open your new
Courier file with Suitcase, you will only get the original Courier in most
programs.  Remove the System Courier to fix this.  

Note also that Courier is a font designed for the LaserWriter; those often
must be printed with high quality and a double size font to come out decently
at all on an ImageWriter.  One solution: use Monaco.
