I always thought it PM's fault. No? > This is curious. When you changed your font from an italic to plain style, was it before or after the space? In other words, is there such thing as an italic space? Just wondering. I remember some kind of a problem with MacWriteII (the initial release, I think) where "bold spaces" needed to be changed to "plain spaces" in order for some of the Bold text spacing to look correct. Could this be a similar kind of problem? -- Jeff Wiseman: ....uunet!tellab5!wiseman OR wiseman@TELLABS.COM
