Hello. This would make sense I think. However, I'm nearly certain that the font we'd used and experienced problems with, Rotis, is an Adobe font (of one flavor or another) and not a free Truetype font. I'll check in a couple days and report back if I learn anything of interest. Thanks! -Adrian

Here we face this phenomenon every day - unfortunately normally designers work on Mac whileas programmers work on PCs. I assume it has to do with the fonts you use - I believe ATM fonts on a PC (using ATM - though I thought since w2k you wouldn't need ATM any more to use ATM fonts) work much better than TTF. And probably (expensive) high quality fonts also work better than one of those thousands free TTF fonts out there...
