   In pursuit of more disk space I noticed that the \windows\system
   directory contains font files apparently for CGA and EGA screen
   display. I have a vanilla VGA (Zenith '386s; 16Mhz and 20Mhz, flat
   monitors). When are these lower resolution fonts used (if ever)? In
   DOS applications? In Win3 applications?
 
   Can I erase these files without disabling Win3 functions? What other
   files are not necessary? Where might I read (manuals?) more about
   this? I have the Zenith release of a Win3 manual, it is not much
   help.
