I humbly beg to differ. With ATM, What I see in WFW is what shows up on
the postscript laser printer. When in PAGE mode, it even shows (albeit
slowly) the graphics illustrations.
WFW doesn't meet this claim when:
Your video output device is not up to snuff. I suggest 1024x768.
You don't have ATM. Medium and large fonts have trouble.
Your printer has limited capabilities. I suggest a postscript laser.
