That's very interesting, thanks! By the way, there's been alot of
speculation about MS Word. Just to widen the field a little, it seems
likely the IBM/Lotus word processor would also have whatever fonts the

But remember that they were made up of dots with only certain possible

Just as a side note, the early versions of Word did *very* bad
"typesetting". It took several versions over several years before they
could produce a decent-looking proportional-spaced document.
