Comment(by Alister):

 > Maybe it only happens with some fonts / fontsizes?

 Ah, yes.  It occurs with Calibri, but not with a couple of other fonts
 I've tested now.  It does not seem to depend on font size.

 It looks like there may actually be a couple of separate issues:

 1. Spaces being inserted (This can be demonstrated by printing to PDF,
 opening the output file and copying into a text editor).

 2. Some characters missing (The question mark ? on the first line of this
 example).

 3. Some characters being too close together.



 > Also, do you use the composer pdf export or the pdf printer

 A separate pdf printer, from the print dialogue.  This is in Windows XP,
 and the problem occurs with both the Adobe printer and the PdFill printer
 (which uses ghostscript).  But it also occurs if I use a real printer to
 print to paper.
