- In the win.ini file see the line IconTitleSize, you can change this line
- to read 10 or 12 or what size you want. Also, you should have a line similar to
- IconType (or similar, there are 3 or four lines together here) This setting is
- set up on a binary basis. It forces all your icon titles to be bold, regardless
- of what font you chose. Anyway, 1=set this to all bold, 0= not bold.
- I use this in conjuction with, my icontitlesize = 10 and can see much better on
- my 14" monitor. I have the resolution set to the 800x600 it works out nicely.
- I think the icon style I use is TT times new roman.
- Also, to reset your fonts in Program Manager so you can read your files w/o
- going blind: pull down your menus until you find fonts, then select the font
- you want as well as the style. You can also set all these to be bold also.
- (the menu is options, I think)
-
- Question:
- Now I have a question: how I could change my button bar fonts in WP4W to be
- bold. Is there a way to change the File Manager "status bar" at the bottom
- to reflect any font changes. Specifcally, how can I get these to reflect bold
- also.
