I understand that drivers abound for 800x600 video, but are there also corresponding screen fonts (e.g. 800OEM.FON, 800SYS.FON, 800FIX.FON, HELV800.FON, TMS800.FON, and COUR800.FON)? How about for other display resolutions (e.g. 720x348 Hercules, 640x400 AT&T and 256-color VGA, etc.)? Or will we be settling for the closest available alternatives (namely CGA, EGA, VGA, and 8514)?

Where are these fonts available???????????????? Especially the 800 x 600 ones. Please let us know, inquiring minds and all that!

I've been using 800x600 mode for some time with the VGA fonts. Although they're a little on the small side, it has the advantage of providing a lot of text on the screen. I'm hoping to get a 16" monitor to make the text larger. -- Roger Hadgraft | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au Lecturer in Civil Engineering | Monash University | phone: +61 3 565 4983 Clayton, Vic. 3168.
