Do any of the windowing packages known to run on, or designed
for, Xenix have sufficient flexibility to permit either pro-
portional spacing on screen or overstrikes?
Most people on the face of the planet write either left-to-
right or up-down, and in many cases their alphabets need to
be proportionally spaced, or to have extra diacritics (Arabic
is a good example of both). The only easy way to do compli-
cated diacritics is to have an interface that knows how to
print zero-width characters (i.e. to overstrike).
