kword character spacing ===================
kword sends a printfile to another printer model with correct character spacing,while the same file to my printer does not.

Seems this problem is font related.
see, http://www.koffice.org/faq/#InprintoutKOfficereplacessomeofmyfontswithdifferentfonts
I'm told,

>Use Unicode TTF fonts, like Utopia or Verdana...
Also,

So there seems to be a font mapping problem.
I generally use helvetica in kword, so what on earth do I have to do to get helvetica to print off normally. All this font business is way over my head and I don't understand a word (excuse the pun)of it
On the above site there is a shell script called kwdfont(which I guess once you have copied it, ought to be called kwdfont.sh) and so what do I do with it and what answers do I give when it asks me the questions ?
Any help and assistance appreciated.
