The same holds for "Fractional Widths," and *beware*: though this makes,
for example, boldface printing look *much* better, it *often* changes line
(and sometimes even page) breaks so that what prints is noticeably different
from the last thing you saw on the screen.  I believe, based on several
tests, that centered things have their left end positioned without regard
for fractional widths -- as a result, they often come out noticeably left
of center.
