[comp.windows.ms] WfW and proportionally spaced fonts

moreno@cs.umn.edu (Andres Moreno) (01/21/91)

I am considering buying a new computer, and right now is either a Mac
(big bucks) or a Windows box. Since I write quite a bit, I want a very
nice WYSIWYG word processor. I noticed at a computer lab that when one
has proportionally spaced fonts, screen updating is slow and jittery. I
really was surprised by how bad the "script" font was! It really took
forever! Does anybody know how to fix this?

Please mail me any suggestions and your thoughts regarding the relative
merits of the window boxes versus a mac. BTW, I have a budget of about 
$3000

Thanks, Andres F. Moreno
