I did see a difference on Solaris 9, but that's possibly because we
haven't tried too many weird point sizes.  There is no reason that a
monospaced font couldn't have a fractional width for *every* character.
This in fact matches what I'm seeing on OS X.  With courier, it doesn't
seem to matter which character I type, the caret positioning gets out of
sync.  However, if I change to Times New Roman, 'f' and 'd' do not cause
a problem whereas 'a' does (I'm typing in the second field down btw).

Regards,

Adrian Sutton.
