Font appears Clipped on screen

On some computers on our network the text appears normal, however on others the text appears to be clipped on screen, when printed to paper the text is fine.  Please refer to the attached

 

I feel there is a settings variable that is different between the computers, but not quite sure where to look for it.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

It this MText? Is it part of a block - part of a field? Do the font files on the different computers match?

It is Mtext, a part of the block, the block has fields but this is not a field within the block,  It is Verdana text which is on all computers.

The text spacing and widths have been modified for each letter individually - for appearance reasons.  I tested just plain text and mtext with the font style and it appears normal.  I have a feeling it has something to do with the widths and spacing, but I wonder why it appears fine in the block on some computers and not others.

The two reasons I would know of that would cause a difference between the display on different computers would be different video cards/drivers or the Verdana font definition being different on the computers.

It is also not wise to adjust the width or spacing on certain windows (TTF) fonts that will cause the issues. Width is generally the culprit. Leave that at 1 and all should display as expected (sort of)
