Exact version? System? Keyboard layout? Which Metrics Window mode? Where are you typing?

5.0 (i think, i still have to manually go into the "standard" file  and add the %). windows xp. keyboard, not sure, just what came with the computer. text mode. in the preview box, when i type in the bottom text part its fine. when i type in the preview, one slash comes out with a space, the next one puts a slash without a space, the next one puts a slash and a space but keeps the cursor parked behind the previosly typed slash. all of these spaces register in the bottom box as if i typed them.

> 5.0

5.0.0? 5.0.1? 5.0.2? 5.0.3? 5.0.4? (Check the splash screen.)

If this is not the latest version, please go to
http://www.fontlab.com/upgrades/
and get the free update to 5.0.4, and please let us know if the problem persists.
