I don't think the W thing is a bug in FP because I've had it happen to me in W98SE (without FP even opened) when I change the font in Display Properties | Appearance...I think it's a font/
Windows problem.
| And I'll tell you one other reason why this looks like a bug, and not a
| padding issue. It cuts off the pixels on the top left corner of the "W",
| not just the left side, at about a 30 degree angle from horizontal. Wider
| words without leading "W"'s are not cut off. If someone has a workaround
| for this, I would appreciate it.
