Does anyone know of a way to set the font Windows/386 uses to display
standard applications?  I'd like to use a thinner font so I can get more of
Telix, etc. into a smaller window.  

Windows seems to correctly detect 80x50 mode, and will shrink the displayed
font appropriately.  However, it can't handle 132x25 mode at all, and
even manages to mangle the screen when I run command in exclusive mode
(probably because of how Windows manages screen memory)

BTW, does anyone know how Windows stores its fonts?  I've got lots of time
to write a font editor but no money to buy one.
