...I mentioned, for example, University Roman LET; the spacing is way off even when the letters themselves are acceptable, all the way to 14 pt.

The 30,36,48,60,72 pt sold by Letraset.

Depends on the version. Look at the properties, Hinting/Font Smoothing. What do you see? Something like:

Range in.............Behaviour
Points
0 - 6....................Smoothed
7 - 13..................Hinted
14+.....................Hinted and Smoothed

Thanks.

For the moment, since I am not skilled at hinting, to say the least, I am very happy to have discovered these autohinting utilities: http://www.freetype.org/ttfautohint/ and http://www.fontsquirrel.com/tools/webfont-generator .
