Interleaf was supposed to demo at a recent BMUG meeting, but they
didn't show up. It was a good thing, too, since the people who used
it and talked about it in lieu of the marketing reps seemed to be
quite hostile to the program.

In fact, on BMUG's calendar for January there was a blurb announcing
the demo of Interleaf: "Interleaf doesn't kern."  This, of course, is
an obvious reference to the well-documented missing feature of
Interleaf Publisher, the ability to adjust the spacing between letters.

This lack-of-a-feature makes Interleaf a ridiculously expensive,
middle-of-the-pack product in my book.

Disclaimer: I have no vendetta against Interleaf.  I'm just calling
it as I see it.
