I don't know the international (english-speaking) market, but here (in Germany) there are at least four or five excellent programs available: SCRIPT SIGNUM II SIGNUM III CyPress That's Write Each of these programs has the features you are asking for (exception: That's Write is the only one with PS-Output), is better than 1st Word+, has WYSIWYG, is fast and reliable, has nice outputs (on many printers), and is still supported.
