Something I have noticed with right tabulation:
FM may trap into rounding errors (at least in the metric world). If you
have a tab position R 18.0cm and a text frame 18.0cm wide it may happen
that the tab is not performed. In such cases I just set the tab 
position to 17.95 cm, which
is not visible.

FM works internally with an unknown unit of measure (it may be a MIL = 
0.001 inch, but I am not certain)

FWIW
