It's not the answer to world peace, but formatForPrinting property
keeps the fonts consistent looking between printer and screen on
Windows...at least it did with Rev 2.2. Haven't had to try it with 2.5.

Description
Use the formatForPrinting property to improve printout appearance on
Windows systems.
Value:
The formatForPrinting of a stack is true or false.
By default, the formatForPrinting property of newly created stacks is
set to false.
Comments:
Windows systems may use different font versions for printing and for
screen display, and the spacing of the print version may differ from
the spacing of the screen version. This can result in layouts and line
breaks differing between the screen display and the printed result.
For the best appearance of printed cards in a stack, make sure the
stack is closed (and not in memory), then set the stack's
formatForPrinting property to true before opening the stack to print
it.

It seems you're not paranoid at all.
The decades' old rumors of Micro$oft using undocumented APIs in their
own apps were confirmed in some of the anti-trust lawsuits won
against them by more than two dozen governments worldwide in recent
years.

Finding of Facts on the case:

Excerpt:
"Microsoft has demonstrated that it will use its prodigious
market power and immense profits to harm any firm that
insists on pursuing initiatives that could intensify
competition against one of Microsoft's core products. The
ultimate result is that some innovations that would truly
benefit consumers never occur for the sole reason that
they do not coincide with Microsoft's self-interest."
