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.
