Neither can WordPerfect.

[ sizzle ;-)  In 4.2 WP you get 8 fonts.  Different sizes count as different 
fonts.  3 of them are usually landscape.  Proportional printing 
works *only* in *one* font at *one* size.  WP files are really difficult 
to make reasonably printer independent (eg: different indents on every 
printer).  I'll take ed, nroff and an ASR33 (well, almost an ASR33...) 
to WP 4.2 any day.]

Actually, there are lots of WYSIWYG-like editors available on UNIX -
Lyrix, CrystalWriter, LEX (gag), Qoffice (gag. gag.)  SunOS now even has
a MacWrite clone.  Hell, you can even get WordPerfect 4.2 on a UNIX
box!
