Default Windows 10 update wipes out files and photos

yes, because depending on the printer, it might not be the same.

no such issue on the mac.


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.
