In the case of OS/2 ver 1.2 vs. 1.3, the big difference seems to be Adobe
Type Manager.  That's why Word under 1.2 seems "OK".  I've noticed that
if I select non-ATM fonts (under OS/2 1.3), PM Word displays text _much_
faster than with ATM fonts.

I'd sure like to see a fix for this problem, as it makes ATM fonts 
virtually unusable with PM Word.  I don't know if the fix would be in 
PM Word, in OS/2 ATM, or both.

On another problem, I've noticed that PM Word doesn't properly print
underlines with my LaserJet IIP and the Microsoft font cartridge. 
Instead of underlining one word or a phrase, PM Word will print underlines
under entire lines of text -- occasionally even off the right margin.
(Underlines work fine with ATM fonts.)
