I just noticed something last night that has been going on for a while.  First
the vital facts:

	ISC 2.0.2 Unix
	ISC Text Processing - ditroff 2.0 compatable

I have a long disclaimer paragraph in my ST:TNG program guide and noticed that
the first line of the text is printed (PostScript) about an en's character
worth short of the right margin.

The only thing different in the line is a \f3Star Trek\f1.  If I don't bold or
italize it, then the line length comes out ok.  If I bold some text that
appears in the second line, the right margin is correct.  Yes, I do have adjust
turned on.

This is really strange.  Has anyone else seen this problem?

Oh, the font I am using is New Century Schoolbook, but I tried it with Times-
Roman and it didn't make a difference.
