I'd be interested in hearing about this too.  We supposedly have fixed width
fonts but they aren't TRULY fixed width.  We have some applications where the
characters must align all the way down a page.  I've looked at the width tables
for these fonts and the characters are all set to the same width.  It is some
anomally or misuse of troff that is causing the characters to not line up.
