VFONT for OS/2 loads replacement text-mode fonts for VGA systems; it
includes two variations of a "modern" font, and a handwritten "scrawl"
font.
VFONT2 This loads the solid-line, modern font (modern-s). I
prefer this font GREATLY to the lousy default VGA ROM
font. Solid-line means what usually appears as double-
line line-drawing characters is rendered as a thicker
solid line.
VFONT2 /D This loads the modern font with the double-line line-
drawing characters (modern-d) as they are in the
default font, for the traditional among you.
VFONT2 /S This loads Scrawl, a handwritten-looking "scrawled"
font. Peoples' reaction to this font ranges from
horror to delight. Personally, I like it (for short
stretches anyway) it makes the computer screen less
perfect and even... more organic (yipes!).
Even if you don't like it, its a great gag font - put
it on your co-workers computer today! Scrawl is an
extensively re-worked version of a public-domain font
(which had no name).
VFONT2 /L This loads Scrawl with the added attraction
(detraction?) of scrawled, wiggly line-drawing
characters!
VFONT2 /? This summarizes your options and exits. It does not
load a font.
VFONT2 only has an effect in a full-screen session. It will display
an error message if run from a windowed session. Since VFONT2 only
affects the session its run in, you can have different fonts in
different sessions and OS/2 will manage them all.
If you wish to have a VFONT2 font every time you start a full-screen
session, modify or create a CMD file (usually called OS2INIT.CMD) and
attach it to PM's start full-screen session command with the CHANGE
(PROPERTIES in V1.2) menu choice. Then place the VFONT2 command in
the CMD file. More information on creating OS2INIT.CMD is found in
the user's manual.
VFONT2 was tested under IBM OS/2 EE 1.1 and 1.2.
P.S.: VFONT IS ONLY TO BE RUN ON VGA-EQUIPPED SYSTEMS. It does not
itself check for the presence of a VGA.
P.P.S.: The font Scrawl is not a Deutsche Industrie-Norm (DIN)
ergonomic standard.
