Italicized Text Not Spaced Correctly

This information was provided by Claris Corporation on 16 March 1998, and incorporated into Apple Computer's Tech Info Library.
Problem:
Italicized text displays on-screen with a large space after certain letters.

Explanation:
Some text characters in certain fonts request two character widths when displaying on-screen due to the limited resolution of video display. This will be true in any application that does not manually compensate through kerning or other letter spacing techniques.

Solution:
This issue does not effect printing, only on-screen display.
