- KNOWN BUGS:
-
- The graphics and opening screens will not display
- properly on systems using CGA, EGA or large-font
- VGA, SVGA and XGA systems. This is due to the way
- Windows Help handles graphics when large fonts are
- selected, and you will find that 90 percent of
- Windows help files have the same problem. This bug
- occurs on Windows 3.1/3.11 and Windows 95. We
- recommend the following as a fix:
-
- Windows 3.1/3.11:
- ----------------
- If your main problem is the small size of icon titles,
- add the following line to your WIN.INI file under the
- [Desktop] section:
- IconTitleSize=12
-
- You can change this line incrementally to suit. This
- should allow you to use small fonts and have better
- visibility of icon titles as well as graphical
- compatibility with Windows help tools.
-
- Windows 95:
- ----------
- The same applies. It's probably the size of your Start
- menu text and dialog box text that prompted you to
- select large fonts. We recommend obtaining a program
- called TWEAKUI.EXE, one of the free "power tools"
- from Microsoft for Win95, from Microsoft's Web site or
- one of several locations on the Internet. We are not
- giving the URL here since Microsoft has a habit of
- changing its URLs with alarming frequency, messing
- up everyone. Instead, try a search for:
-
- WINDOWS 95 POWERTOYS
-
- ...or...
-
- WINDOWS 95 POWER TOYS
-
- ...using Yahoo or Webcrawler. Many people have this
- utility linked to their Web pages.
-
- This utility may be used for fixing a lot more than
- just the size of Start menu and dialog text, and if
- you're a heavy Windows user you will find it
- very useful.
