Arial Narrow issue on Windows

Greetings

I am having a problem using Arial Narrow in 8 point, on Windoze

Everything works fine on Mac, but when I open up the structure on  
Windows, anything in Arial Narrow 8pt is all screwed up. By which I  
mean that the leading is all wrong and it doesn't really look like  
Arial Narrow. If I switch to 9 or 7 point everything looks fine. Bold  
& italic both exhibit the same issue.

This is happening on more than one Windows machine so it is not a  
specific glitch on one computer. I have tried both with and without  
style sheets, same issue.

Other fonts appear to work ok, it's just Arial Narrow which is duff.  
The line spacing appears to be too great - if I switch to Arial 8 the  
block of text takes up less room that the block in Arial Narrow, which  
obviously can't be right as there are more words per line - but the  
spacing between the lines with Arial Narrow is too much.

Has anyone seen this before? Any ideas? Other than using a different  
font?

TIA
