XWD6 and Text Display

[hurricane51]

I seem to have a problem with the way XWD6 handles text display.

When I export a site using XWD5, the text appears the same in the browser (IE8) as in the editor.

However, when I do the same thing with the same site using XWD6, it seems that as the point size of the text increases, the letter spacing increases more than is proportional. So the text with larger fonts looks artificially spaced out in the browser.

Text in this case is MS Trebuchet, which has been included in a number of versions of Windows now. The text is flush left.

I've attached a couple of small screen captures so you get the idea.

Please provide the example design so we can check what's wrong.
Thanks.

Hi Hurricane,

I believe John is looking for the *.web file so it can be determined where it's gone wrong.

If you can attach that file, it will help get your problem solved rather quickly.

I'm running into a similar problem... using Arial - in WD6 I may be showing 1/2" right margin, but in both IE8 & Firefox it may be less than 1/4" margin... Lines still break at same places, it just looks like text grew slightly. Could be my Arial font?

It isn't severe enough to lose sleep over... but on some pages, text actually touched edge of site so I had to make larger margins in layout for it to not touch edge of page in browser. (I'm at 100% view in browser).

As was asked of Hurricane51, Xara devs would like the actually file in question to see what's wrong.
If you can attach an example *.web (Web Designer 6 file) this would help.
