I am having a problem with font size selection in Windows Write.
Suddenly the scroll-bar for font sizes only gives me a choice of 4, 5,
or 6 pts.  I can select a size such as 12 pt by typing in the value
and everything seems to be hunky-dory. This only seems to be true of
the non-scalable fonts such as Times-Roman, Courier, and Symbol. Any
ideas about what might have changed? There doesn't seem to be a
WRITE.INI file anywhere to have gotten hosed-up.

While I have your attention. Is there a way to make Write print
special characters such as bullets and long dashes? Do I need to
obtain a new font for this or is there some special incantation?
