I thought a major selling point for the LJ III was that all the
fonts are scalable.  Can't you just scale the 12-point (10 cpi)
Courier to 10-point (12 cpi).  It's not exactly Prestige Elite,
but it should be close enough.

I'd be interested to hear whether there's something wrong with my
reasoning, as I'm considering replacing my LJ II with an LJ III.

My opinions are mine:  I don't speak for any other person or company.
