Several people have asked about using the 8514 fonts with Super VGA boards. I got the following procedure from Video Seven Technical Support. It works with my Video 7 VRAM-VGA at 1024x768 resolution and my AT&T VDC600 (a Paradise board) at 800x600 resolution using the sv800 generic driver. To install the 8514 fonts: 1: Copy expand.exe from Windows Distribution Disk 2 to somewhere in your path. 2: Insert Disk 1 if 5 1/4" or Disk 2 if 3 1/2" 3: Run the following command: expand a:8514fix.fon c:\windows\system replacing c:\windows as necessary with the place you have windows installed. 4: Repeat step 3 with the files 8514oem.fon and 8514sys.fon 5: edit the windows system.ini file, changing fixedfon.fon=vgafix.fon to fixedfon.fon=8514fix.fon oemfonts.fon=vgaoem.fon to oemfonts.fon=8514oem.fon fonts.fon=vgasys.fon to fonts.fon=8514sys.fon 6: Run windows, the display fonts should now be larger than before. 7: Using the windows control pannel, install the following fonts: courf.fon helvf.fon tmsrf.fon symbolf.fon Do not remove the corresponding xxxe.fon fonts Thanks to Video Seven Technical Support for this procedure.
