Does the ImageWriter driver use the fractional font widths even if the
application has set FractEnable(false)?  Otherwise I don't understand how
being a LaserWriter font could make any difference.

If this is the case, and you just want word processing, you can use
WriteNow and turn printer spacing on (or use a DA or INIT that sets
FractEnable)  .  Otherwise, you can remove the fractional width table from
your copies of Courier (and preferably rename it).
