 I was just reading some of the Mac posts on usenet and noticed a recurring
theme about scree vs. printer fonts. It seems that unless you use PostScript
for output, you don't always see what is printed. the big complaint seems to
be with the new Apple ImageWriter LQ printer. It doesn't space letters properly.

Anyway, this is because the printer fonts are different then the screen fonts.
Now, on an Atari, with GDOS, you have seperate screen and printer fonts. So, you
can create fonts so that What You See Is What You Get. But, on the Mac, the screen
font is the same as the printer font (or more acccurately the printer fonts is the
same as the screen font), so you get into problems with some printers not printing
WYSIWYG.

So, in this case, the Atari has a better system then then Mac. At least, if you don't
have a four grand Postscript laser printer on your Mac!!!
