There are several very nice programs to manipulate the VGA fonts. The
one that I most familiar with is VFONT. VFONT has a selection of two seperate
font included: a kind of playful scrawl and a "normal" font. VFONT is
memory resident and reinstalls itself everytime the video systems does a
mode change (i.e. when you try 'mode 80' it will not dissapear). The
included fonts are much easier to read than the default IBM fonts, so I
have included it in my autoexec file. As of yet, it has worked with all
major software packages that I have found.
VFONT is available on simtel (ftp site 26.2.0.74) in pd1:<msdos.vga>.
I think. I can't check it right now because simtel is not letting me on.
If anyone needs a copy sent to them send me some mail at
gray@freezer.it.udel.edu.
