Re: Question about output after compiling document

Paul,

Sounds like a font problem to me.  Lout gets its information
about the size of each character from files included with
Lout, whereas your PostScript viewer gets it from somewhere
else.  If they disagree, you can get these effects.

Another possibility is that you PostScript viewer does not
have access to the default font, Times Roman, and so it has
used another font whose sizes are different.

Altogether, then, you need to look into where your PostScript
viewer is getting its fonts from, and what fonts it has
access to.

Another thing you could try is change to a different
font altogether, for example by enclosing one of the
paragraphs in

   { Helvetica Base } @Font { ... }

If the space problem goes away, that should convince
you that the font is the problem.
