- Why ??? What font size are you using? If you want to compare the OS/2 Window
- fonts to VGA full screen fonts (I asume you have VGA) then compare them at the
- same size. The VGA equivalent Window fonts are just that --- VGA equivalent
- (16x8 pixel) and more than one pixel thick. If you prefer the EGA equivalent
- fonts, then you are out of luck, they are really only one pixel thick.
- (Which is an improvement over the GA IMO).

- See above, you can use them if you don't mind the better l - 1 distinction.
