Harry:
If you have not tried this, fiddle with the following combination
of keys; the Ctrl key + the mouse wheel, and the Alt key + the
mouse wheel. Work with them separately. I tried Century a monent
ago and when it came up on screen for the first time, it was a
disaster. However, I gained control of the situation by pressing
the Ctrl key and the wheel first. That make the characters readable,
and then I set the space between the characters to something I
thought was agreeable with the Alt key and the wheel.
To the Others:
By the way, I resolved my font size problem by setting line
spacing at 8. It seems that the font size is controlled by line
spacing.
I agree with Robert, David does not know how to document his
programme. But the programme is very interesting and in the end
may be the salvation of DOS word-processors, since I note that most
of our complains have to do with the appearance of the screen. Some,
and maybe even many, of us cannot get used to a screen that is not
just right, particularly if we do a lot of writing.
By the way, there is a new version of TAME since yesterday. I've
tried it on my laptop. I had problems. I could be my fault.
