This is very unusual. It looks like a problem in the font or the
FontManager to me. A potential fault in ArtWorks or the printer driver
could not explain the fact that only one specific letter is affected.
You can force ArtWorks to use its own shape rendering routines instead
of the FontManager if you use the text line tool instead of the text
area tool and then give the text a thin outline and an outline colour.

It could be worth a try to reduce the print resolution.
The font cache setting will not make any difference - text at that
size is almost certainly bigger than your configured FontMax3 size and
thus drawn as shapes by the FontManager.
