Bernhard Gothic SG + Indesign CS2 = Weird "e"

tearsforsappho

I fully believe that it is just something I am doing wrong. But I am trying to set some type in InDesign CS2 and the letter spacing is atrocious (esp the lowercase “e”). I am using Bernhard Gothic SG Heavy at 24pt.

I am not having this problem with any other weight. Of course, I know how to fix this manually, but does anyone else have this problem?

Is the kerning set to Optical or Metrics? Makes a lot of difference with certain fonts.
