It is not a display driver issue, it is an MS Word issue. When I do the same
thing in notepad, the characters are evenly spaced. I must have an answer to

If it's a display issue only, then it's probably a video driver issue or an
issue with the display font. If it doesn't print that way, then I would
consider it not worth worrying about.

most fonts (though some do contain the fi and fl ligatures), but it is
available in "expert" fonts and possibly in OpenType fonts (though not
necessarily accessible directly in Word's Symbol dialog. You might try
asking this question in the microsoft.public.word.printingfonts NG.

Why is it when I type fff in Bold Italic 24 Point Times New Roman that
the
first
two letters are closer together than the last two letters?
