Re: oem font for XyWin



Dear Kari
Thanks. I have been trying Fony and I see it can import TTF fonts and then store them as .FON. I am having a bit of trouble finding a monospace ttf font that is heavy enough at 20x10. I am sure there must be one somewhere ...

Dear Paul,

If you need a custom solution, the best place to start is maybe your own
system. Modify one of fonts installed to suit your needs. Here is a tool
that is modern and makes FON/FNT fiddling a breeze (it locates
automatically your installed fonts and reinstalls them; make sure you
first make an archival copy of installed fonts in order not to lose the
originals in case something goes wrong):

If you lack a symbol set, go to
https://winworldpc.com/product/windows-3/wfw-311 to locate versions that
contain the fonts you need.

I think that XyWin could be useful for some of the work I do, but only
if I can find a suitable OEM font.  At the moment I have it set up
with the font 8514oem.fon but this only supports code page 437.  I
need at least code page 850.  The 8514oem.fon is what in windows is
called a large font, and it is installed when the display is set for
120dpi in the display settings (in Windows 7 and Windows XP). Unfortunately these fonts are very poorly documented and I have not
been able to find a single font of this size for code page 850.  Does
anybody know anything about these fonts and if so, whether an
alternative exists that would support code page 850?

Thanks

Paul
