- About PM Fonts
- --------------
-
- Welcome to PM Fonts Chooser, Shareware Version 1.10! PM Fonts (for short)
- is a Program Manager customization utility for Microsoft Windows, Version
- 3.1 or later. (Sorry, this application will not work with Windows
- 3.0 or earlier.) Start PM Fonts, and click on the "Choose New" button
- to change your Progman icon titles to a new font. If you make a mistake,
- or get tired of the novelty, click on "Choose Default" to restore the
- Windows standard font.
-
-
- Installation
- ------------
-
- The archive file you extracted, PMFNTS.ZIP, contains this file
- and the file PFV110S.ZIP. Copy PFV110S.ZIP to a temporary directory,
- and "unzip" it. It will create the following files:
-
- Name Size Date Time
- ------------ -------- -------- --------
- PMFONTS.EXE 12600 02-26-94 12:49a
- CMDIALOG.VBX 18688 04-28-93 12:00a
-
-
- Copy PMFONTS.EXE to your Microsoft Windows default directory, normally
- named \WINDOWS. CMDIALOG.VBX is a required support file for PM Fonts;
- copy it to your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. We recommend the use of the
- Windows File Manager for these tasks, and would NOT overwrite a file
- of the same name but with a later date.
-
- One additional support file is required to use PM Fonts 1.10: VBRUN300.DLL,
- the runtime module for Visual Basic 3.0. If you use any other Visual Basic
- 3.0 programs, you have this file, probably in your \WINDOWS or
- \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Otherwise, VBRUN300.DLL is available from the
- same BBS, on-line system or software distributor where you obtained
- PMFNTS.EXE.
-
- To execute PM Fonts, add its icon to a Program Manager Program Group, or
- click on PMFONTS.EXE in File Manager.
-
- NOTES ABOUT THIS VERSION
- ------------------------
-
- 1. PM Fonts was inspired by Brian Livingston's March, 1993 "Optimizing
- Windows" column. Brian revealed the manual way to perform this
- Program Manager customization, but PM Fonts is safer and quicker for
- most users.
-
- 2. Another useful hint from Brian's column: once you have a satisfactory
- group layout in the Program Manager, you can save the arrangement
- WITHOUT exiting Windows by holding down the shift key and clicking
- on "Exit Windows" under the Progman "File" menu. Works like a charm!
- No more "Save Settings on Exit"!
-
- 3. PM Fonts is especially suited for presentations to groups - choose a
- larger and bolder font to allow those in the back to read your titles.
- Or, if you have a lot of icons, choose a smaller or narrower font to
- fit more icons on a line.
-
- 4. Another possible use for this utility is to help the vision-impaired
- use Windows. If used in this manner, the registration fee is waived;
- we would like a letter however, so we might add you to our user base.
