Yes, situation normal.
It is next to impossible to stop it.
You will have to have *identical* fonts and printer driver version
installed.
Don't let anybody tell you Publisher 2000 is printer driver independent - it
is not. It is better than previous version by a large margin, but certainly
not a 100%. Publisher 2000 along with Publisher 98 were mega dogs of a
product in any case and don't know why you are using such sub-standard
software.
