I've been reading the Pro Write 3.0 docs...seems that to get resolution
approaching the limit of the printer, you should try one of two approaches:

1) Use the options which support the built-in Desk Jet fonts along with
   graphics (though this will give jaggies on the graphics), or

2) Use the trick mentioned in the section on "Printer Considerations" which
   basically says "...use a scaling factor of 1/2 with double sized fonts and
   graphics...or try the same trick with triple sized fonts and graphics..."
   Since I do not have the manual here, I am not sure exactly what page.

Prior to release 3.0, you were required to carefully choose your fonts and then
use the smoothing option with at least a density setting of 150 dpi.  You may
want to experiment with printer preferences...it makes a BIG difference.

For the double and triple sized fonts, I would look first at one of the Fred
Fish disks that contains fonts generated by Rokiki.  I am sure that there are
some commercial source as well.
