I have a Mac IIx, with a Mitsubishi Diamondscan 166 model HL6605 color
monitor and a CMA M2-00800 Sigman Design Colormax video card. The
monitor has a higher pixels-per-inch ratio than an ordinary Mac
monitor, so everything the Mac writes to the screen comes out much too
small to read comfortably. Can anyone suggest a way to reconfigure
things to eliminate this problem, or will I have to order a whole new
monitor?
Thanks!

Nau On a related note: is it possible to do something similar to a regular Mac screen? What I would like is to trade number of characters on the screen for their size. Like typing everything in 14pt fonts, but still having it print at 10pt or whatever the 'standard' size is. Something equivalent to typing you whole document within, say, Word, at 14pt, but not having to rescale the whole thing down to 10pt when you want to print it. I guess I want a magnifying lens for my screen.... Could one change the 'default' system font (the one in which file/folder names are written), for example? Carlo. carlo@cvs.rochester.edu

It does wonders with file/folder positioning, as well as letting you change the font and style for the file/folder names. Lots of other interesting/mundane things. It came over to our site on comp.mac.binaries about 6 months ago, so I'm sure its around on the normal ftp sites. I gleaned these from the application itself: -Layout 1.0 written by Michael C. O'Connor -1986 Leptonic Systems Design Company -Compuserve 74206,1406 BIX 'lepton' -GEnie M.OCONNOR Delphi LEPTONICSYS -This software is provided free of charge.
