Soren,

Indeed, I have been using Times New Roman with none of the spacing issues since I came into contact with it. These two are not the only update fonts provided with Vista. Tahoma has also been updated, and so has Courier New for fixed-width text. They do not have the problems that the older versions contained, such as what you mention. It's quite nice, as Ken has attested. There is an online update for Arial and Times New Roman provided on a Christian website, if you're interested. It's an automatic installer. Just write me offlist, and I'll provide the link for you.

Yours,
Jason Hare

Two font questions (perennial issue, it seems):
Somebody (Jason Hare, I think?) mentioned recently that Times New Roman and Arial occur in updated versions with Windows Vista. Am I right that the trouble with holam on vocalized Hebrew still persists??
When using excellent fonts like Ezra SIL or SBL Hebrew in a regular Word document written in Times New Roman, inserted Hebrew passages cause lines to move further apart. What would be the sensible thing to do about that? Would setting line spacing to a specific number of points, rather than just "single", cause unwanted side effects?
