My big question about Sprint: I have a lot of time invested in font
descriptor tables for proportional fonts. I generated these by sitting
and measuring how wide each character is, to the nearest unit of measure
(which I forget). This takes a *LOT* of time, and I'll use my old
obsolete Final Word II for a long time before I do it again.

Please say that I can move my tables.
