Is Times New Roman font goofed up in 2.0.3?
When I print a score in 2.0.3 using lyrics in TNR 11pt, the character "f" seems to have insufficient space after it. I have to sneak an unnoticeable period after the letter F to make the word "f.eeling" come out readable.
I didn't notice this in 2.0.2. But I may have used 12pt on those files; using 12pt appears to provide adequate space after the f.
So I have two options for fixes: go to 12pt or use the period. But I wanted to point this out as it seems that something may be messed up. If I understand correctly the font files are not part of Musescore, but part of my system (Windows 7). But this problem doesn't occur in other programs.

This happens even when export (File / Export) in PDF format?

What happens if you use FreeSerif instead? That does come as part of MuseScore
Is it the same on screen and in print/in PDF?

It doesn't occur with FreeSerif.
It would seem simple enough to just change font or font size. Problem is: I'm doing Barbershop arrangements; the Barbershop Harmony Society has a certain format rules they want us to follow, it says we should use TNR 11pt for lyrics.

Yes. The problem is still there in the PDF format.
Can you attach a before-and-after example, with the MSCZ and the immutable PDF to show what you get? Here's what I see:

That is FreeSerif, not Time New Roman...

Here's the comparison, Times New Romen left, FreeSerif right::

I did it twice, once in an open score and again with My_First_Score. The second time, I missed one step.

and this is not 11pt, but 10pt...
(for some reason my file is 10pt too, I'm sure I changed it to 11pt)

to me it lools like Times New Roman is too dense, FreeSerif too wide
And now, for some strange reasoen, I can't reproduce it any more ?!?

Here's part of the score. On the very bottom line I changed some of the individual words to FreeSerif.
It seems to me that 10pt actually spaces the characters better than 11pt.
