I will try your suggestions - but you know it looks fine using
an 'acrobat' printer - only gnostice messes up . It seems ungainly to
code around bugs in a pdf driver.

The real issue it appears is that the font is using more space - I am
not a type expert but there appears to be mnore space between
characters. 'shane' versus 's h a n e' if that makes sense. I traced
into the code and it is being fed the correct (or same) font size etc.

Do you know of any actual support gnostic provides? Seems like
they are in India and only email at night - no news group. A news
group would be really nioce for support.
