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.
