GEOS output to a laser printer looks bad unless you use fonts specifically
designed for a higher resolution than a dot-matrix printer.  GEOS 2.0 and the
Writer's Workshop disks have those fonts (LW_Roma, etc).  

But if you use other fonts, especially the bigger-sized ones, the output 
looks really cheap...
