It seems that ProgMan uses the HELVE font for labeling icons.
I found that commenting out the Helv line from the [fonts] section of win.ini
forces Win3 to select a different and larger, more readable font for ProgMan.
I don't know why exactly.
BTW, the comment char for win.ini is the semi-colon (;).

Questions:
    1. What is the relationship between fonts specified in the system.ini
       and those listed in win.ini?
    2. What font is used in the title bar, in a DOS window, in FileMan, etc.?
    3. Is there a way to force a particular font (and size) for any of the
       above?
