Re: Proportional font in XY-Win

["Robert Orndorff" orndorff@xxxxxxxx]

If you want to print a ASCII map the you probably want a NON-proportional
(fixed width) font, such as "Courier New", (not "Courier"). Most of the other
Windows fonts are proportional. The "Terminal" font in Windows most
closely resembles the DOS character set, but it doesn't show up in the font
list in XyWin, it is not a TrueType font. Does anyone know how to make that
one show up?
