-
- - 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 listbox (although they *do*
- get listed in DOS windows). They're there, though, and PC/W uses
- them just fine if 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.
