You probably have an error in the Helvetica font in your system. I have the same problem in my system (=6.0.5, Finnish). You can test this by writing two identical lines of Helvetica text under each other and then make the other bold. If the normal and the bold line still are of identical lengths (the one in bold SHOULD be longer), your font is bad. Hey, rest of the world! Do You have this problem, too? Is it shipped with all systems >= 6.0.5? Rainer B{rs, rainer_bars@hut.fi Helsinki University of Technology Laboratory of Engineering Geology and Geophysics *** Money, what money?
