Well the application I know of that can dynamically scale F3 fonts happens to
be.....

xnews.

Sounds like anything that uses xnews is covered.

This by the way is the reason that I would find it highly unlikely that
SunSoft will ever donate/give away/throw out the xnews source. Anyone could
take the server and generate their own version of NeWSprint. (By anyone I
mean anyone interested in making a commercial product.)

It certainly appears that NeWS is now in a state of rigor mortis, seems like
all hope of having it as part of the vaunted project DOE has vanished.

Of course whatever happened to the person who was "leading" up the project
DOE work for SunSoft anyway? Seems he jumped ship for the NeXT generation
of distributed objects...
