To get around the problem WP has currently been configured to shut down
Win95 and run in DOS mode.  And that works.
However this approach has long term problems.  Ie, what if they want to
network in the future.  She won't be able to access the network printer.
Kinda important.  Also she can't run her other software and WP at the
same time.  And so on.
So I'm attempting to locate a long term solution to fix her problems:
1) a convenient method of switching (or find and replacing) fonts within
hundreds/thousands of documents to different fonts;
2) additional WP 5.1 compatible scalable fonts we can use instead of the
ones which came for MoreFonts.
