Help!

I'm a spoiled brat who's been using a Mac with MS Word and a laser printer 
to do graphics work at my job.

I just bought a 24-pin printer, the KXP-1124, as it's the only printer that
had tolerable quality and a college-student price.  It has several built-in
fonts, which are nice.

BUT, they're all 9-point fonts.  I'm used to a Mac, where you can set any
darned point size you want, even on a dot-matrix printer like the Imagewriter.

We hooked up the 1124 to a friend's computer, which has WordPerfect, and it
doesn't use the graphics mode of the printer -- it just prints everything in
9-point.  Letter-quality proportional-spaced 9-point, mind you, but still
9 point, and not 10, 8, 12, or 24.

Aside from buying GoScript and telling WordPerfect that I have a laser printer,
is there anything I can do?  Is there a different word processor on the market
which will take advantage of my 360dpi graphics, without needing a PS 
translator to act as a go-between?

Please respond via e-mail.  I read this group once weekly, and I see a lot of
posts, but I also miss a lot from turnover.  I'll summarize if desired.
