I agree with this assessment; Calligrapher is a first-class document processor IMHO (I can't agree with it being entirely "crash-proof", but how much software is?). > I like the fact that it uses standard GDOS fonts as well as Calligrapher's > own outline font format. The outline fonts are terrific, and it's incredibly The ability to use standard GDOS fonts is in my view very important for any ST word-processor. I was therefore disappointed to find that amongst the features listed in the new version of Calligrapher is the abandonment of support for GEM bitmap fonts. I phoned Working Title to check this recently but the person I spoke to seemed not to be in a communicative frame of mind, so I can only guess at the reason for this change.
