Do you mean that the screen font character widths aren't the actual
printed width, relative to the ruler?  Is this true for all the
fonts, or just some?

I'm a happy Word 5.0 user, but I've been considering buying the
upgrade to WfW.

Also, does WfW allow use of fonts other than the printer fonts?
(I've got an Epson LQ-800, and I would like to occasionally
use 30-point type for headlines and such, but if I'm still stuck
with the standard printer fonts, there's no point in buying WfW
without a laser printer).
