I have a cfdocument that makes heavy use of Arial Black (oh how i hate Arial Black) in inline styles, however when that font ins rendered in MS Word and converted to PDF using Acrobat the font is NOT the same as in the cfdocument generated pdf.

I am on a windows xp server running locally and it Arial black is being widened. the Word "Brownfields" is 4.75cm in the cfdocument and 4.5cm in the word/pdf. For times new roman, the word "city" is just over .5cm in the cfdocument and just under .5cm in the word/pdf.

Is there a calculation i can use for scaling and/or some css for letterspacing that i can use to equalize this?

the first thing to do is to make sure you have all relevant hotfixes
installed on your cf server - many (but not all) of cfdocument issues,
including unpredictable font scaling, have been fixed in them.
