I have a couple of fonts for windowed mode (XyWrite in a Windows window)
customized for my resolution of choice (1280x1024) in order to fill the
whole screen: one of them is for Ansified XyWrite (25 lines); the other
one is for standard XyWrite (28 lines). Unfortunately, they are not
usable at lower resolutions because the characters look enormous. In a
near future (if I am less busy than now) I can attempt to build a font
for standard XyWrite at lower resolutions. So, I would like to know if
1024x768 would be OK (I suppose it's the usual resolution for the
members of the list). Am I right?
