We are using CHAT/TCP/IP on 1186s and 1108s running Lyric to edit files
with 'vi' on our HP-UX system.
 
All is well if we use GACHA 10 as the CHAT.FONT but if we switch to
TERMINAL or LETTER GOTHIC it gets the amount of whitespace for SPACES
wrong, leaving half-eaten characters on the screen, although it does
move the cursor the correct number of points.
 
You can expect weirdness if you use a proportional-spaced font, but I
can't see any reason why we get this problem with other fixed-width
fonts.  Has anyone seen/fixed this problem?
