I am having a problem that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere so I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. I am using InDesign CS3 on a Mac 10.4 with Suitcase managing fonts.
We create a lot of forms -- they will have:
Name(tab-return)
Address(tab-return)
City(tab)St(tab)Zip(tab)
with the underscore (shift -) being used as the "leader" to create lines. We do not put any spaces before or after the tabs.
Some (admittedly very picky) sales reps are complaining because the distance from the beginning of the rule to the word is not exactly the same in all cases. Most recently, when type is done as shown in the above example, the rule starts right after the word "Name" -- but after "City" there is a bit larger space. I have changed the font to different faces and the space may change somewhat but always remains a little larger after City.
Does anyone know why this happens? Is there a workaround? Does it just look further away because "City" ends with a "Y"> Or am I justified in telling the sales rep to GET OVER IT! (Well, I guess I am never justified in that -- sigh.)
Any input greatly appreciated.
