I tried the example exactly as shown and it worked perfectly for me. Here's a guess. troff has to be told what printer it's formatting for, so it uses appropriate width tables. In DWB 3.1 the default is -Tpost (PostScript) but in 2.0 it was the APS 5, which you are unlikely to have. Your troff is probably choosing an interletter spacing for . appropriate to the APS, not the printer you are using. If your troff supports -T, try telling it the type of printer explicitly.
