Hi all,

Due to request from Kari, I have changed the FONTxxxx directives to BOLDFONT, ITALFONT and BOITFONT for bold font, italic font and bold italic font respectively so that the first 4 letters of a directive will be unique. The actual functionality is not changed in any way. This makes the upcoming vDos-lfn for XyWrite installer easier to postprocess the config file.

Hello Wengier,

Would you consider changing these so that the first four letters of each
reserved word would be unique? That would make my installer's config.txt
postprocessing a bit easier. I can, of course, work around this, but
simpler is better. So far, all reserved words are unique in this manner
and I can use this to update settings from a previous config.txt based
on a 4-letter key which is simply the first 4 letters of a directive.

E.g.:
FONT
BOLDFONT
ITALICFONT
BOITALICFONT
