Hi -

We have an application that utilizes embedded fonts to provide a specific
Fixed Font for our screens. We use Andale Mono for the font, and utilize
WEFT to create 'ANDALEM.EOT'. Our pages then use:

<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
@font-face {
font-family: Andale Mono;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: normal;
src: url(ANDALEM.eot);
}

#DIVA {...;font-family:'Andale Mono', sans-serif;font-size:9pt}
#DIVB {...;font-family:'Andale Mono', sans-serif;font-size:9pt}
...
</STYLE>

We then specify the font via DIV's that specify the font family and size.
The text is formatted by a legacy application that communicates with the web
pages. This mechanism worked fine on IE5 and IE6 (and I thought an earlier
release of IE7 worked as well, but...)

Here is what I see. Suppose I have the following output:

ABCefgHIJklmNOP
ABC&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp ;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOP
ABC&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;HIJ&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;NOP

What I expect is to see the ABC's lined up and the NOP's lined up. Instead,
I see, where lines have more &nbsp;'s the NOP's are indented, as if a
proportional font was used instead. However, with a fixed font, a space (in
this case an &nbsp;) should be the same width as any other character.

On a whim, I tried enclosing the lines in <pre>...</pre>, and I received it
the way I expected, however, this was never required in the past.

Why is this happening on IE7? Is there anyway to get this behavior back
(short of making a code change to include opening and closing 'pre' tags on
each line?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
