I am a reasonably satisfied DeskWriter  owner, but I do have a few
questions.  If anybody out there knows the answers, please E-Mail
me and I'll summarize back to comp.sys.mac.

	1) Using FullWrite professional draw layer, it seems that
		a) Hairlines are the same as regular lines
		b) Lines are drawn at 300dpi resolution, but
		     splines are drawn at 75dpi
	2) Contrary to what the documentation, I can't get either of my
	     workhorse programs (SuperPaint 2.0 or FullWrite) to print
	      text at any of the 90 degree rotations at full resolution.
	      If I make a document that says "Horizontal" aligned horizontally
	      and "Vertical" rotated to stretch vertically, the word "Horizontal"
	      comes out looking fine, but the "Vertical" has the jaggies.  It is
	      slightly humorous that if I do a "Page Setup" and change to landscape
	     mode, "Horizontal" is still imaged right and "Vertical" is still wrong.
	3) Does anybody know how well Adobe Type Manager works on the DeskWriter
	     and if you can get fonts other than the standard LW Plus fonts from
	     Adobe (or anywhere) for the DeskWriter?

Thanks in advance,
Michael Toy
