I'm not sure if this is related to the problem discussed in the previous
notes but here is what I discovered on my system and what I suspect is
causing it:  I recently purchased an HP Deskjet 500 and started using
WfW 1.0.  The fonts menu displays the standard WfW fonts as well as the
fonts that were installed when I set up the Deskjet (Courier in several
point sizes).  Now if I use the standard WfW fonts, the display accurately
reflects what will be printed.  But, if I use one of the Deskjet fonts,
the margins and sizing gets completely messed up.  The printed output turns
out fine, though.  I suspect that WfW (Windows) defaults to a particular
screen font which does not accurately reflect the actual Deskjet font.
I'm not positive on this, but it seems to match what is happening.  Can
anyone verify or shoot this down?  If this is the case, does anyone know
where I can get good screen fonts for the Deskjet 500?  Thanks for the
help.
