About a year ago, I had endless problems with WordPerfect and proportionally
spaced fonts.  After much pestering of their support staff, I was told that
WordPerfect versions 4.x did not differentiate between the widths of
capital and small letters.

(I was doing a thesis and lines containing all caps came out with bad spacing,
overlapping characters and no alignment).

At the time they had no intention of fixing this :-(.  You might see if
text with only small letters works any better.
