Dov, I may yet owe you an apology; it is possible that I made the PDFs which had the spacing problems using the Laserjet printer instance, rather than Distiller. I had installed both printer instances but I am not sure that I used them both for their intended purposes when testing. Under normal circumstances I do make sure to switch manually to Distiller as the active printer, then print to PS and distill from a watched folder. However it is possible that after I had seen the text spacing problems on screen in FrameMaker and when printed directly to the Laserjet 4, I departed from my checklist and fired off a few quick PDFs with the Laserjet printer still active. I will now investigate whether, with Distiller as the active printer, the spacing problems appear onscreen in FrameMaker and in PDF. I am hopeful that using the Distiller, and reinstalling the Laserjet printer instance from a modified PPD will solve the problem. Dov, I am sorry if I have wasted your time, and I will let you and the lists know if problems remain after further testing under the known reliable conditions.
