quoth Leon A. Goldstein:

| WP8.1, from Corel Linux deluxe, installs 300+ T1 fonts that are
| available to the entire system.
| They are usable with OO/StarOffice, Kword etc.

yup, but they don't antialias; never mind the question of why in the 
world anybody would want 300+ typefaces. (unless they really *are* 
fonts, which could be three typefaces, each in 100 sizes, or six 
typefaces, each on 50 sizes, font being typeface at size.)

btw -- html is the one thing that textmaker *isn't* very good at. nvu 
does better; so does that strange wine port thing that ibm did. or, for 
that matter, netscape composer. textmaker's filter adds half again to 
the code size by essentially starting from scratch with every 
paragraph. but for writing to *.doc, nothing else even comes close, 
including winword.
