I once asked MicroSoft about this and was told that Word needs the
installed screen fonts in order for the program to calculate the
spacing using fractional widths and full justification.

I wish either Adobe would provide 9 and 11 point screen fonts, or
that Microsoft would enable one to use fractional widths with full
justification with font sizes not available for the screen.
