List Font is a hack that allows you to change the font and size used in directory dialog file lists, and display the real icons of files in such lists. It requires System 7. I call it a hack because it uses undocumented system information, and may break the next time Apple releases a new System.
Displaying the real icons requires querying the desktop database, which may cause noticeable delay and disk activity.
Compatibility
List Font is compatible with my own Open-wide and with Now’s Super Boomerang. In fact, version 3.2 or later of Open-wide knows how to cooperate with List Font, so as to stretch the file list to a height that is a whole multiple of the font height.
List Font will not work with Norton’s Directory Assistance II.
This program is provided as is, and is not guaranteed.
Distribution
List Font is copyrighted freeware. It may be redistributed, but not sold for a profit, so long as it remains unchanged. Of course, if you *want* to send me some money for it, you can.
