Not in the trivial sense but somehow ...

I wasn't really happy with a fix like
 
if Average_Width==0
  AverageWidt=MaxWidth=MaxWidth/2 /* or Width('x') */

being added to about 3-4 locations:

 1-2x in TextOut.c
 1x   in TextF.c
 1x   in Screen.c

The only reaons doing so might be that for the upcoming release
it might be only possible action to avoid the crash which 
rarely happens(?).
