Display of spaces is screwy!

[Jeremy]

In Word 2000, when displaying formatting marks for
spaces, I see the "." place-holder mark shoved to the far-
right of the space, instead of resting happily in the
center of the space. This makes editing trickier.

In other words, when I type "HELP ME" and then select
SHOW ALL, I see a dot in the space between the two words,
and the dot (instead of being in the center) is right up
against the letter "M."

I'm using Century Schoolbook, and I've noticed that this
isn't a problem when using certain other fonts, such as
Times New Roman. But, in the past, I haven't had any
trouble properly displaying formatting for C.S.

Can anyone help me understand what's going on?

Thanks.
