Of course there was. With the Mac the only printer on which output on the printer somewhat matched the appearance on the screen was the Laserwriter and even then the match wasn't exact. absolutely false. With Fontasy, depending on the printer, it might be more or less the same or the size might be different. more or less != wysiwyg. I used Fontasy substantially back when it was introduced, and turned on several other people to it. Obviously, I did not try every single printer on the market, but I never had a printed size issue, and no one I know who purchased the program had an issue with printed output size. I speculate that the manufacturer, in the course of testing the software, found a couple printers that had issues; and they thought it best to include the caveat. (At the time, I had 3 printers: Radio Shack, Citizen, and Epson. All worked fine with Fontasy.) Of course it wasn't truly WYSIWYG under DOS- what I saw with my computer was orange text/graphics on a gray/green screen, with a 4:3 size. The printed output was black on white (or whatever paper I was using) at the paper size. If I had wanted actual WYSIWYG (orange on green), I would have had to use my color dot-matrix printer! There was no significant difference between the situation with either system. oh yes there very definitely were significant differences. shockingly so. -- Ken Hart |
