I am running WFW with ATM and postscript. When I have WFW in standard viewing mode (not Page and not Draft), the text is not quite WYSIWYG. The text looks correct in shape and style, but the line breaks are not the same as they will be when printed. To get the line breaks to show correctly, I must switch the viewing mode to Page. But now the text extends beyond the right margin. It seems that the displayed text is slightly bigger (about 5%) than the actual printed text. So to show the proper line breaks, the displayed text must extend beyond the margin. Interestingly, if I have a box around the paragraph, the box goes right to the margin, and the text crosses over the border of the box. When it prints, it is exactly correct. The text stays within the box and margin. I thought that ATM was suppose to deliver accurate screen fonts to within a pixel. It seems that it is only accurate to @ 5%. tom

It seems that it is only accurate to @ 5%. FaceLift behaves the same way. I find it rather annoying, but I'll put up with it for now. I'm hoping that when TrueType finally comes out, it'll be really WYSIWYG...

I have had no problems using WFW and ATM. I get true WYSIWYG when in Page View. It looks exactly like what is printed. What res. is your monitor? My text does not go past the margins. -- Computer Science Center Richard Oppenheimer University of Maryland oppenhei@umd5.umd.edu (office) College Park, Maryland ,USA richard@wam.umd.edu (home) ****** My employer cares not what I think and knows not what I say. ********

It turned out that the driver for our monitor was almost but not quite correct for Win30... Once we switched vendors and got a different monitor with a working driver all was well. ______________________________________________________________________ / Rockford Lhotka INCSTAR Corp \ | Applications Project Leader 1990 Industrial Blvd | | incstar!lhotka@uunet.uu.net PO Box 285 | \ 612/779-1701 Stillwater, MN 55082 / -------------Amiga - The computer for the creative mind.--------------

Once we switched vendors and got a different monitor with >a working driver all was well. I'm using Fastwrite Video7 and a MultiSync 2A (in standard resolution - 800x600 annoyingly shrinks the screen slightly in the horizontal direction). Is this in someway not compatable with Widows 3.0? Perhaps I need to update the Video7 driver. I think I can get it from their BB. thanks, tom
