Tasword on the ZX Spectrum used a font that fitted into 4x8 (so the characters were 3 pixels wide). It wasn't brilliant by today's standards, especially given it would usually be plugged into an 80s TV. However, this allowed 64 character lines on a 32x24 screen.

I worked for Tasman Software and answered lots of phone calls and written queries, so I know it was the first word processor used by a great many people. I wonder how many are now blind.
