It seems that ProgMan uses the HELVE font for labeling icons. I found that commenting out the Helv line from the [fonts] section of win.ini forces Win3 to select a different and larger, more readable font for ProgMan. I don't know why exactly. BTW, the comment char for win.ini is the semi-colon (;). Questions: 1. What is the relationship between fonts specified in the system.ini and those listed in win.ini? 2. What font is used in the title bar, in a DOS window, in FileMan, etc.? 3. Is there a way to force a particular font (and size) for any of the above? --- Tom Beattie att!hoqaa!twb t.w.beattie@att.com
