Actually, I did not know it, but it does have this feature.  I was just
using it for the fonts.  I got version 1.17 from Electronic Boutique in
Nashua NH. 5 weeks ago for $29.99.  

I like the fonts, and I have not noticed problems with the sub or super-
script sizes of the fonts, but I don't use it for technical writing.

I do my technical writing with LaTeX, and the PK/Postscript fonts look
pretty good.  I still can't get the hang of the GUI interfaces for
technical writing.  I can put things together a lot quicker in LaTeX.
