It looks to me like it uses a different font. certainly it looks like it 
believes the font was proportional (that is why you get the odd spacing, 
because SynEdit forces it into a grid).

The last font-related changes in synedit where in revision 185xx (so 
before your last good revision).

I haven't got  Win9x, so I can't test. On XP it looks fine.

Maybe you could put some debugln into Synedit.SizeOrFontChanged and see 
which font is really used? Otherwise I have no idea.
