I can't answer that, Jeff. I spent so much time getting WW set up right with my Retina – which is, so far as I can tell, the fault of the Retina software, not of WW – that I don't want to bump it down and possibly mess things up. However, WW at 1120×832 is equal to or better than, depending on the font, FiW at 1152×900. Courier is so much better it's a joke – it's like reading it on a page. For really good onscreen readability in either program, but somewhat better in WW, use the font ShannonBook that comes with WW. The basic idea with either program, or I guess any wp, is to find a simple, clean, generally sans-serif font to use for typing in text. The more complicated the font, the more serifs it has, and variable line thicknesses and the like, the harder it is to make a clean representation on screen. Paul (aka Mr. Zombie)
