- Is a WYSIWYG word processor really critial? Why not get hold of a text-based
- word processor that can use the proportional fonts on an ImageWriter II? They
- look better than the graphic-based fonts (IMHO) and take less than half the
- time to print.
- Of course, if you're looking to generate a wide variety of font sizes and
- styles for you thesis, I guess you don't have much of an option but to use a
- WYSIWYG word processor.
