Interesting. I have two boxes running very similar (but not identical) 
Debian-Woody systems, and I have a similar spacing problem on *one* of 
them. But for me it's not TrueType fonts, it's X11 bitmap fonts; and rather 
than showing up in Netscape and Tk, it occurs in apps using Athena 
widgets or raw XLib (xlsfonts, bitmap, xdvi, etc.). So it could be something 
completely different ... but I'm inclined to suspect there's a common cause. 
I have a hunch the X server is getting confused about the encoding of the 
fonts, but I really haven't found any definite information.
