- 1) There is a DOS version of BDFTOSNF on the Quarterdeck BBS at (310)
- 314-3227. This will explain what you need to know.
-
- 2) To my knowledge, DESQview/X does not support .PCF fonts (these are
- fonts, right? :) )
-
- 3) DESQview/X does not support scaled Microsoft Windows. It does
- support scaled DOS text windows, however.
-
- 4) DESQview/X supports Adobe Type 1 fonts; I don't know how (if) it
- supports Adobe Type 3 fonts.
-
- 5) To comment on the DESQview/X font system could take a sentence or a
- book. I'll start by a sentence that recommends a book: The DESQview/X11
- Toolkit Roadmap has a detailed explanation of DESQview/X's font
- technology. If you'd like more information here, we'd probably be more
- informative in response to a more specific question. Please ask away!
