I think I remember hearing that Windows 3.0 would have a proportional system
font -- any beta testers out there who can comment?
I remember when I spent at summer with IBM while they were developing the
early releases of Presentation Manager for OS/2. After many internal
releases with a fixed system font, the releases started having a
proportional font, wreaking havock with the cosmetics of many programs
designed for PM by programmers unaware of the coming change. Those
programs had a very attractive font, but nothing would line up correctly!
