This is really a problem directly related to WYSIWYG. It is in a difference

of fonts in smaller and higher resoultions.

The more magnification in preview you have, the more close result to the

printer output.

RichView calculates and stores a position of each text item. But true

WYSIWYG program must do it for each character.

RichView tries to solve this problem changing intercharacter spacing in

preview (when Correction=True), but intercharacter spacing is measured in

integral pixels and applied between any pair of adjacent characters, so it

is very rough.

Actually, this is the main problem of WYSIWYG implementation, it will be

solved in due time, when I'll work on WYSIWYG.
