Is there any way to decrease the size of the fonts and windows in Windows 3.0? I would really like to see more stuff on the screen. Thanks, David Dwiggins (dd2x@andrew.cmu.edu)

This might require some renaming. I use the VGA fonts in 800x600 mode, and although they seemed a bit small initially, I've got used to them now, and appreciate the extra amount that I fit on the same 14" screen. -- Roger Hadgraft | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au Lecturer in Civil Engineering | Monash University | phone: +61 3 565 4983 Clayton, Vic. 3168.

You want to use smaller fonts? Easy. Tell Win/3 to use a smaller font in the SYSTEM.INI file. For instance, if you have VGA, use the EGA fonts. Modify the SYSTEM.INI file where it shows VGA font names to use EGA (Sorry, I'm doing this from memory so I can't be specific). Here's an idea; use Win's SETUP to state that you have an EGA. Then backup the SYSTEM.INI file and do the same for VGA. Compare the two and only modify the EGA/VGA differences so that VGA screen fonts are used. This does work, btw. I have done this with my SVGA to use EGA screen fonts. And yes, you do get more information on the screen. E-mail me if the above was hopeful and not helpful. Doug Parsons, Australia.

Please help me, I want more to fit. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |Girl don't go away mad...Girl just go away! |Yea, right! | Motley Crue "Don't go away mad" Dr. Feelgood |james@chama.unm.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
