I hadn't noticed this, but looking at the thread, the tabs seem to be 
being introduced in each message, not always in the same places, either.

The first post's subject line shows a tab between "install" and "fonts".

The second (my reply) has tabs between "to", "install", and "fonts".

Your reply to me has a tab between "to" and "install" (and no others that 
I can see).

Weird.  I've edited the subject in this reply to ensure each space is a 
space and not a tab, so we'll see what it does.
