- In case others are interested, here it is.
-
- - Get woafon13.zip from cica's fonts directory, and install the
- fonts as directed.
-
- - This makes extra sizes of the Terminal font available in
- Procomm/Win's Setup.Terminal.Font dialog (as well as in DOS
- windows). But there's a gotcha: the extra sizes you've just
- installed do *not* get listed in PC/W's size listbox (although they
- *do* get listed in DOS windows). They're there, though, and PC/W
- uses them just fine if you type in the sizes. I find 12 point to
- be ideal on my 1024x768 display: the characters are *easier* to
- read than the much larger characters the PCPlus SS font produces at
- 12 points.
