- With WfW2 you get a TT font called MS LineDraw, this has the characters
- for the linedraw characters (ASCII 176-223 & 248), but not anything else.
- You'll have to write a simple macro to go thru the text, and change the
- font of the ones mentioned above.
-
- If the file WINLD.FON isn't on your hard disk, use DECOMP.EXE from
- WfW's installation disk 1 to decompress the WINLD.FO$ file on
- WfW's installation disk 3 to your hard disk, then install the font
- using Control Panel/Fonts.
-
- A full TT character set should be available from PC magazine's BBS,
- called VID-TT.ZIP. Could some kind soul upload it to any FTP site?
