This is good news for someone who has a deskjet & is looking to do more
with it!
 
I've had the deskjet for about a year.  I use it - mainly with Word for
Windows.  I've never been sure that I've gotten everything out of the
deskjet.  Is there a reference or a setup guide for window 3/deskjet users?
 
Why does W4W use the same screen font for Courier 5, 10, 16 ...
  Will the new scalable font fix this?
W4W does not believe in Courier italics,  But it will let me specify
  Roman italics - use an italic screen font to display them and print them
  as italics on my deskjet.  Why is this?
I'm also curious why W4W will only show me the first several font names
  when I try to change fonts.  There is a scroll bar, but pushing pagedown
  or selecting the down-arrow has no effect.
