The type in that screenshot is the default font in Wordworth. However, if you need really legible on-screen type, you can use standard AmigaDOS bitmapped fonts in Wordworth just like you did in WordPerfect. Most people will find the on-screen legibility of the two programs (WW and FW) very similar, except for WW's extra capability to use AmigaDOS fonts. Cheers, Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing

I think you're being a little unfair. We provide detailed feature comparisons because potential customers want to know exactly what they are getting. Most companies won't do this. A couple of years ago, I received a copy of Quark's feature comparison vs PageMaker and Ventura. I was impressed, not because Quark came out ahead, but because they were very fair in their feature comparison. The comparison accurately showed in what regards XPress was better than PageMaker, and in what regards those programs were better than XPress. I believed their comparison more because they were honest enough not to slant the comparison in their favor. We try to do the same in our feature comparisons. (In fact, our first PageStream3 vs ProPage vs PageMaker vs XPress comparison was based directly on Quark's.) Take a look at our Wordworth vs Final Writer comparison. It shows that Final Writer is better in several areas (Undo, ARexx, style tags, master pages, bibliography, sections). We could easily have omitted a few of these from the list of features that were compared so that the remaining comparison would be more in our favor. But we didn't because we think our products can stand for themselves. It is possible to make errors in a feature comparison, and we always have our comparison proofed by users of competing programs. (For this comparison volunteers on GEnie proofed it for a week before it was posted.) But even power users of programs can miss things too. So when someone found a mistake on our comparison and we posted a correction here, you criticized us for not portraying our competitor accurately and said you'd never buy our products as a result. It seems to me that we have been very fair, and have always corrected our comparisons when errors have been found. Don't slam us for making a mistake if we own up to it and correct it. Someone found a few mistakes in our PageStream3 vs ProPage 4.1 comparison, and that was a year after Gold Disk had proofed it itself! (While we competed head to head with Gold Disk, we were on friendly terms with them and would send our feature comparisons to them to proof.) Michael @ Soft-Logik Publishing
