It does look like freetype2 is the culprit. I tried changing to a non-TrueType/Type1 font an the spacing is back to normal. With LucidaTypewriter-Sans, the spacing is normal. So it looks like the issue is the updated print/freetype2-2.8. I'll open a bug report when I have fully confirmed by rolling back to the old version with everything else at Latest. -- Kevin Oberman, Part time kid herder and retired Network Engineer E-mail: rkoberman@gmail.com PGP Fingerprint: D03FB98AFA78E3B78C1694B318AB39EF1B055683
