Fonts
This version of GED supports user-selectable fonts. These fonts are the
same ones used by Windows 2.x and Windows 3.x, and end in the extension .
FON.
You can use the provided LISTFONT application to list the actual names
and sizes of the fonts in a .FON file; you will need these to set the
font in GED.
GED is provided with several .FON files; TMSRB, HELVB, and COURB are
provided by Microsoft, while PCFONT is provided by Chinook Software.
If you have installed Windows, you may get the best looking font by
using VGAFIX.FON or 8514FIX.FON.
The two directives in CONFIG.GED which support these fonts are
FONT PATH=dir
This directive sets the base directory to search for fonts to be
dir. This directory is searched first (default is the current
directory) followed by the directory pointed to by the ATK
environment variable, and finally the location that the EXE is found
in (DOS 3 and higher).
If no fonts (.FON files) are found, GED aborts.
TEXT FONT=fontname(size) or TEXT FONT=fontname(size,size)
This directive sets the font name and size. This must be the name
of one of the fonts on the Font Path.
The default is PCFONT(12).
If no TEXT FONT is specified in config.ged, and PCFONT.FON is not
found, the font selected may appear to be random to the user.
