Strange Text Formatting

I had the same thing once, it was due to a switch to a text/only generic printer, once I had switched back to HP laserjet it was fine. I was suffering double spaces in my message replies.

 Indeed this is an issue that needs to be fixed, but I have to say i have used Pmail since dos days and won't use anything else.

I am using version Pmail Windows V4.21

PM 4.41 / Windows XP Pro

 I have had the above PM on this laptop for a long time.  I used to use it a lot and had no problems, but have not used it in a while.

 When I compose a message, for some reason, the text formats with large spaces between words.  I looks like this:

 "This      is      how     the    text     comes     out."

 Every time I press the space bar, it puts in a large space instead of just a normal space.  It's not quite as big as a tab, but almost.

Each word seems to compress into a shorter space after I type it and then press the spacebar.

 All the settings under "Message formatting" in options are default.

I have closed out every other program that is running to be sure it isn't anything interfering (I don't see anything that would interfere anyway).

I'm using Arial 10 font.  I tried other fonts ... same problem.

Everything is pretty much at default.

I didn't have this problem last time I used PM on this laptop.

 

Anyone know what is causing this?

 

Thanks for any help!!

The only time I've seen this happen is when the editor was set to use full justification.  Not sure how this could happen in Pegasus Mail though.

Changed printer?

Printer off-line or not available?

PM relies on the printer driver to display things.

Don't know why, but it's something that needs to be fixed, methinks.

What version of PM are you using? 

It *may* have been fixed in a "recent" release, though.

 

Best regards,

François
