[comp.fonts] MS Windows 3 Screen fonts

wnp@iiasa.ac.at (Wolf PAUL ) (02/11/91)

Can anyone tell me what the resolution of the VGA screen fonts
in MS-Windows 3 is ?

I have information (which seems to be correct) that in Ventura, a HP
Softfont reduced to 31% of its size can be converted to the appropriate
screen font for the VGA driver. This amounts to a resolution of 93 dpi.

When using this resolution with Windows, I get unexpected result.

Is this information available somewhere? Is there a program which 
automatically creates appropriate Windows Screen fonts from a HP
Softfont?

Thanks!

VGA screen resolution is 96 dots per logical inch.
