font character spacing wonky in Publisher 2007?
I have a font which certain characters are too widely spaced in Publisher
2007. The font works fine in MS Word, and even in MS Pub Word Art, but in a regular text box, there's a big space between certain characters. The only way I've been able to make it work is to adjust character spacing with tracking manually. No fonts are embedded, I checked. It also worked fine in Publisher 2003, which I'm strongly considering going back to, since I have a number of existing documents using this font. (The font is "rhythms" which is a music font for use directly in documents. It does have unusual spacing for a font, but what in Publisher is changing that spacing?) |

It is an unusual font. How are you trying to use it? Have you tried using the
character spacing in the Format menu? I typed the exact same letter sequence in 2003, it looks identical to 2007. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Debencore" wrote in message ...

The "letters" that have unusual spacing are "d" "f" and "g". In music, this
makes a group of 16th notes for a rhythm example. (dffg makes a group of 4 16th notes.) As I mentioned in my original post, yes, I can manually adjust using the character spacing (tracking) in the Format menu, though even that seems difficult to work at times. It seems that you have to select a space beyond the text you are trying to adjust in order to make it work. "Mary Sauer" wrote: It is an unusual font. How are you trying to use it?

I see what you mean. I don't know the answer. If you use the cap key, the three
are spaced correctly but there are the small numbers above the notes. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Debencore" wrote in message ...

Yes, I tried that, and turning off kerning makes no difference.
