We noticed a similar thing here.  In a sequence of the form

	... blah \f(CWblah\fP ....

the space between the blah's is out of proportion to the spaces between
the other words on the same line.  It almost appears as if the distribution
of white space between the words in a line is biased against CW fonts.
With Bold or Italic fonts the problem does not seem to occur.
