And my previous statement that it works on Vista 32-bit
was incorrect..
Thanks,

Its been a couple of weeks but yesterday finally looked into this.
The problem is indeed specific to the version of the font on Vista
and so affects 32 and 64 bit.
When Microsoft added support for Arabic (etc) to the Times New Roman
font (and others) they added an OpenType 'GPOS' table which is
*supposed* to be the way to do kerning in an OpenType font.
However they did not in fact add kerning information to the table.
On a separate list I received email from Adobe that they also
found the same problem with the Vista fonts.
So really this appears to be a bug in the Vista fonts which
we'll have to see if we can workaround, but really the JDK
is doing just what the font tells it to do.
Anyway I filed bug 6663396 to track it and decide what to do.
It should show up in a day or so on bugs.sun.com

Hi Phil,
The Vista machine is 64-bit and the XP machine is 32-bit so perhaps
that has something to do with it.
Anyway, I have emailed you screen shots of the problem so you can see it.
