I understand from a friend who just got one of the new wide-carriage 
near-LQ Imagewriters that it is being shipped with large mac fonts
which enable it to produce beautiful characters in "Best" mode.  Apparently,
you need the triple size in your system to get this.  I.e., when using 24
point Geneva, you must have 72 point in your system.  I hear these fonts
are **BIG**, and can cause problems for folks using 800K startup disks.

Anyway, this printer heralds the arrival of the big fonts.
