- I use the standard A4 page size which is approximately 8.2"x11.7". I use
- a 640x512 display with slight overscan but I don't think the 125%
- magnification in FC is enough. I would like to use 150% or 200% to make
- the fonts look almost as good as the Amiga bitmapped ones.

- Well, being used to simple text editors, I hate the FC fonts.. Yesterday
- I made a quick test with the screen settings and set the screen to be
- 95 dpi and that helped a bit. I'll experiment more with it tonight.
- Thanks for the person who suggested it!

- Yes, I have got FCII now. I didn't notice it was nay better than FCI, tho ;-)

-
- I use FCII on my A3000 with a multisync. I can use any text editor on any
- Amiga without a flicker fixer and without getting a headache. I just wish
- FCII would let me use bitmapped fonts while editing the text - a bit less
- WYSIWYG, but much more comfortable.

-
- Will see. ;-) I definately want something better than Word Perfect - maybe
- I should just stick with TxEd+ and AmigaTeX. Clear fonts on screen and
- excellent printing quality. :-) (Well, that's how I will write any bigger
- projects, anyway..)
-
- Thanks for all the suggestions,
