Dedit uses the wrong font size when running the demo.  I think has to do with BIG changing the fonts.  With the demo loaded, the function names appear in large (helvetica 18?) font with the line spacing being only 12 or so.  Scrolling off and back on print the function names in a smaller font which has the right linefeed height but the width of the selection is still as if they were printed in the larger font.'

To fix this, DEdit would have to move alreday printed material when there is a change of font on a line. I suggest that the big fonts should be better matched, as this would probably look lousy anyway, even if done right by DEdit.'
