Yes, but in the context of this thread which is setting the font for the
window in the properties of the shortcut, the shortcut created by
K95REGTL.EXE is not what one wants because it is a .LNK type shortcut,
not a .PIF, and one still has to select the font for the window in
windows\system\conagent.pif if one uses the shortcut made by
K95REGTL.EXE.
The point is that the first procedure in the "Windows 95, 98, and ME"
section of http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/fontsize.htm does not work on
the shortcuts created by K95REGTL.EXE. You still have to make your own
shortcut by editing a .PIF as described in K95/DOCS/manual/shortcut.htm
in order to use that procedure.
