Thank you Sveinn,

I think that explains the reason very well.

Best regards,

Reminded me on a problem I had years ago; apparently there are many versions of the Arial font-files, some with serious kerning issues and more.
So its properties depend on which file you have - from which source you got your Arial font.

One typical case is described here:

I'm guessing there is some place where we could all look at it and see the issue without needing to run code to get the PDF file, perhaps archive.org? Or perhaps this mailing list accepts small attachments?
