Why is it I get large spaces in-between words when using any font but Helvetica and Times Roman when ever I use PageMaker, Windows Write, Ami etc. I have the screen fonts for the other typefaces installed and it looks like the font, but obviously there is something wrong with the width configuration for spacing between words or something. I have talked to other PC Postscript users and they report the same thing. Is this the best we can expect of WYSIWYG from Adobe screenfonts or is there something that should we should have done that we didn't. One of the users (a typesetter with Lino 300, IBM's and Macs) says he reported it to Adobe who blamed Aldus, but when he talked to Aldus they blamed Adobe, so far nobody has blamed Microsoft. He also said it looks fine on the MAC, is this simply a DOS thing? I use Windows 286 on an AT machine.
