 I did. It didn't help. I was using the new driver, too. 

 I had the common bitmap sizes of Helvetica installed. I tried printing a
 document in Helvetica 12 (w/ and w/o Fractional Widths) and in Helvetica 13
 (w/ and w/o Fractional Widths). In all cases, the word spacing was incorrect,
 although the incorrectness was not identical in all cases. Primarily, styled
 text was affected, though it was not limited to styled text.
