The above statement is not true.  I am licensed with MS-Word 5.0,
and downloadable fonts are handled quite elegantly on supported
printers (such as LaserJet II, as I have).  You also have the
additional capability of viewing the layout of your document
before you print it.  Comparing MS-Word to *any* Unix word
processor is folly:  it is so superior that it is incomparable.
