[luau] Screen Font "Improvement" in WordPerfect 8 for Linux

[Joe Linux]

I know I was preparing testimony for a public hearing using Abiword.  I 
had just made numerous revisions and was doing the final spell check and 
then Abiword just blipped off my screen and all my revisions were lost. 
 I'm not using Open Office on my system (Mandrake 8.2) because for some 
reason the spell checker doesn't work properly.  It claims to spell 
check, but actually leaves much of the document unchecked.  The lack of 
a decent word processor in Linux is most frustrating, and in my opinion 
the single most important reason that Linux in its present state will 
not find wide spread acceptance.  In other words, we need a good word 
processor with good reliable spell checking, and we need it soon. 
 Without it, we are still forced to maintain a Windows based system just 
to do writing.
