Their support is great (assuming they follow through as promised). They say it is specific to daisywheel printers, they are working on it (read between the lines: it's in the queue), and they will send me a fix at no charge when it's available. I'm anxious to try Rick's test with the DX-15 with a proportional wheel. I could do it with just the regular wheel set to proportional font, I guess, but half the fun will be buying the new printwheel. Underlining for me works fine including the between-words stuff, microspaced, full justification, normal-spacing font. Tom Bruhns uucp: !hplabs!hplsla!tomb
