There was a bug in MacWrite II 1.1v1 that rendered TrueType fonts poorly
when the window was displayed at a reduced size (50%, 33%, or 25% of
full size).  MW 1.1v2 & v3 (not 1.2v3--there is no MW II 1.2) fixed this
(and other) bugs.  Essentially, 1.1v2 fixed a number of System-7 bugs,
including TrueType, alias resolving, and 32-bit clean bugs.  1.1v3 fixed
one 32-bit clean bug (spell checking in 32-bit mode with more than 16
megs of RAM) that got missed in 1.1v2.
