 Like what for instance?  WP4WIN supports True Type fonts (via windows),
 ATM fonts, etc....  Maybe there's something else I'm not aware of, though..

	I use some bitstream (actually bitstream compatible) fonts that
	allow me use a foreign language alphabet via windows applications.
	But those fonts could not be used in WP (dos) because it does not
	support 'screen font.' I was hopping that WPfWIN would support it,
	but does not. I donno if wpfwin 5.2 does it. Can somebody give me
	this info?


 Yes, I agree, choice of a word processor involves many factors,
 a very personal kind of thing.  Actually, if you're planning to
 buy a wordprocessor, my advice is to see if the various companies
 have 30/60/90 day money back guarantees, then buy the wordprocessor
 you think you'll like and try it out.  If you don't like it, send it back and
 try the next one on the list.  Or, find a friend who has
 the wordprocessor you're interested in, and fiddle around with it
 for awhile.( yes, this takes a little time, but if you're a serious
 writer it'll be worth it).  That's what I did, and I found that
 I liked WP the best...  but again (as I stated before) this is just my opinion,
 you may find that you hate it, love it, or whatever...
