Help! I have a problem using PM4.0 with the courier and symbol fonts. When they are on the same line I sometimes get weird spacing between the two. eg a(alpha)-interferon. The a in symbol font would either go left or right and sometimes even overlap its neighbor. There is no pattern I can discern when the program decides to do this. I am using the following settings in the paragraph menu Word space Letter space min 105 min 2 des 105 des 2 max 150 max 10 Pair kerning >12 Lead proportional Font size is 12 pt courier and symbol width is normal no tracking Aligned left I also have a problem with some words that are partially undelined eg (H2)dl1004. The H2 is undelined, the rest not. The H2 would be shifted left in some cases and not in others. I can not find a pattern to the shifting either. I can do manual kerning on this but as the document is rather long I would prefer not to. The really annoying thing about this is that it does not show up on the screen when the letters decide to overlap!! I have to print out a page, make an adjustment, see if it worked, print the page again, make another adjustment. You get the idea. The text was imported from MS Word 4.00A for the mac, I am using ATM 1.01, and have used both the Aldus and Apple print drivers. I am printing to a LW+ Sorry for the long post but I am getting desperate. All help would be greatly appreciated.
