- Just use the font preferences program in the Prefs drawer of your SYS:
- partition or floppy and increase the point size (it will have to be a fixed
- width font, such as Topaz). Save the settings, and they will be stored
- in DEVS:System-Configuration. If you're running from floppies, copy this file
- to the disk which you will be booting from (and the fonts files, if necessary;
- Topaz/8 and 9 are in ROM as far as I remember).
-
- FastFonts, I think, only works with 8 point fixed width fonts such as Topaz/8,
- so you may have to remove it from the Startup-Sequence to get things to work
- properly.
