Does anyone have any nice MS Windows system fonts? I am getting tired of looking at the standard system font. If anyone has something, please let me know about it. Also I would be interested in what I would need to do to make a system font. Is there an ftp site that has a number of system fonts... by system fonts I don't mean fonts that write.exe and paint.exe use, but fonts that the windows and dialog boxes use. Thanks.

I'm interested in ftp sites that have any windows fonts, especially any with the math symbols (for-all, there-exists, and, or, etc.). Michael Minakami

I don't know of any system fonts anywhere, but I grew equally sick of the standard system font and developed my own. There's not much leeway you have, since Windows assumes a fixed pitch font. The font I developed is sort of proportional. The M and W are slightly wider, so that you can read them even when MS DOS exec prints them in bold for the directories, and I made the I and L shorter in hopes of making up for the diff. Apart from that, the other characters are basically the same, but I like the results on 800x600 super vga. Some one told me that the results are pretty ugly on 640x480 vga, so take it at your own risk. I will be happy to uuencode and mail the font to anyone who is interested, as soon as I figure out how to use uuencode properly. Milan mms00786@uxa.cso.uiuc.edu .
