Yes, I would expect it with Lucida and many other fonts.

Sorry for not being more specific earlier. I left out a detail I put 
into the original bug; that this was not just an issue with plain 
text, but was one when using monospaced fonts.

The problem I had was multiple fonts on the system.  Apparently, the 
newer fonts are in a data-fork format, but I still had older resource-
fork based files from various older software packages.  Once I went 
through Font Book and cleaned everything up, my monospace fonts 
didn't show the problem.
