Fractional Spacing isn't a laserwriter only option, otherwise FullWrite,
MacWrite II, Quark, and PageMaker wouldn't print nicely on the ImageWriter.
If you're using Word 4, they don't support fractional widths to the imagewriter
and I can't say why or why not.

  Use applications that use fractional spacing, this way they'll get proper
values for the widths.

  Royal won't fix the spacing problems for applications that go by old ways,
unless they somehow try to patch everything, which would tend to make things
break more. Following Apple in the past, I assume they'll make people follow
their lead - which would mean using fractional widths, 32-bit clean, etc...
