Yes, the screen fonts don't exactly match the ruler.  For
instance, if you ask for courier 10 and courier 12, the screen
display won't come out with ten and twelve characters per inch.
I don't know if this is true for all font's, because there is no
way I can try all of them.  

You can use other screen fonts if you have them.  They must be
available from sources other than the Windows package.  The
performance is much slower than 5.0 because of the bit mapped
graphics.  For instance, page up and down takes ages compared to
a ROM character font.
