I was going to try your font here, iMac with 10.6.7, but I don't have it 
on my system.

Is it a free font that can be downloaded from somewhere?  If I did 
download, it would have to the exact same file as you are using.

Side by side, the LO blank page seems to be slightly grayish, where the 
Pages is white.  That may account for some of the difference.

I used Times Roman, 11 point, and couldn't tell any real difference.


From a cynical point of view, be glad you are not using Windows.  LOL 
They used to have a lousy screen display, I don't know why.  I had older 
computers and operating systems that far exceeded the Windows display. 
I haven't paid enough attention lately to know if they've solved that 
issue or not.
