_Graphic_ text editors are another thing!

Appleworks with Superfonts is still a fine way to use multiple
fonts, but, of course, it isn't WYSIWYG.

PublishIt! (yes, that's really the name ;-) is a very good graphic
WYSIWYG editor for the Apple //e.  It has (had) a large number
of users, and is also available on the web.
