Hi,

   This will probably be something that people are sick of by now (Murphy
says it will be, at least), but I appear to get problems with pair-kerning
and large fonts under ghostscript. The postscript source is output from
FrameMaker.

   The symptoms are as follows:- characters that would normally be pair-
-kerned (that is, 'fitted' together a little more 'snugly' than normal),
such as a 'T' followed by an 'o', or a 'W' followed by an 'i' are actually
separated by 1+ spaces.  This is obviously a little disturbing.

   Just so as the information above isn't useless, ghostscript 2.4.1 is being
run from ghostview under HP-UX 7.05 and mwm under X11R4.

 		Cheers,

			Dave Woodman.
