Line lengths vary - intercharacter spacing?



I recently inherited a book that has a lot of code samples. We use 9 pt
Courier for these samples, and I noticed that the length of the lines vary
depending on whether the line is terminated with a soft or hard return. 

Consider these two lines:
   Inclusion[0] == AKH.condition[1]<soft return>
   Inclusion[1] == AKH.condition[2]<hard return>

I would expect them to have the same length, but the line that ends with a
hard return is shorter than the line with a soft return. If I change the
hard return to a soft return, then the line lenths are equal, but I get a
space between the code and the next paragraph.

Is this Courier typeface not truly monospaced? Or is there some other
setting I'm missing?

Thanks!
