I've got a problem similar to the person asking for larger
Program Manager fonts in 800x600.  I'm trying to run in
1024x768x256 (if you've got it, flaunt it :-) and at that
resolution, the normal 8514 fonts are so small they're
nearly unreadable.

Anyone know how I can make ProgMan pick the next font point
size up?  (Currently it looks like 8 pt, 10 pt would be nice)
I tried commenting out helvetica in win.ini but the resulting
font looks about 12 pt, and wastes a lot of my desktop space.

P.S.  I would be willing to kill helvetica 8 if I knew how to
do it.

Thanks.
