- When runnig a DOS application under WINDOWS 3.1, clicking the top left
- corner of the window it is running in will reveal a menu like this:
-
- RESTORE
- MOVE
- ....etc
- EDIT
- SETTINGS
- FONTS
-
- Now, I replaced the graphics display driver supplied with WINDOWS 3.1 with
- one that came on a disk with my TRIDENT video card. I did this because
- WINDOWS had no 800x600 resolution drivers for 256 colors (it had only a
- 16 color one). However, with the new TRIDENT driver, I now find that the
- "FONTS" menu option in the the above DOS window menu no longer exists! It has
- been deleted from the options list! This means that I can't change the
- font size in the DOS application window unless I do either:
-
- (i) Re-install the old WINDOWS driver, select the new font size,
- then re-install my new driver, or:
- (ii) Edit the DOSAPP.INI file, typing in the font size I want.
-
- Both these options are pretty tedious. Does anyone know WHY the FONTS
- menu option suddenly disappeared when installing the new graphics driver?
- Help with this matter is much appreciated.
