- All these features are nice to see and *will* improve the product, but you
- *still* have not addressed the *one* feature I've been harping about for a
- couple years now. Support the Adobe Standard Roman Character Set. This should
- not be too difficult to do. The information needed to support the character
- set is freely available from Adobe. As for programming it, you might be able
- to get help from Soft-Logik in exchange for the document format of Final
- Writer. This would help you improve your product and help Soft-Logik improve
- theirs as well, all with *no* monetary expenditure. Given these facts, I fail
- to see why this feature has not been added. I don't care how many different
- kinds of graphics your *word* processor can handle if it can't handle simple
- typographic quotes and a decent em-dash.
