- DOSAPP.FON contains several sizes of small fonts. The face name is
- "Terminal" and there are sizes down to 4x6 (which is just barely legible).
- I find 6x8 is very effective.
-
- The trick is, although DOSAPP.FON comes with every copy of Win 3.1
- it isn't normally installed. You can install it through the control
- panel like any other font, but to make it stick around you will need
- to remove the WOAFont= line from system.ini (its a ugly story, don't ask
- why).
