No luck here with Win-OS2 under Warp 4. I also tried the
8515oem.fon with no success. I did find that using all three
8515 files (8515sys.fon, 8515fon.fon, 8515sys.fon) produced
larger menu text. Nothing, however, changes the XyWin draft
font. I got the 8515 files from the zipfile RH mentioned awhile
back: xgawin21.zip. I think the problem may be that I am
comparing my 15in work monitor (which really is 15 inches) with
my 15inch home monitor (which is barely more than 14inches).
The home one gives me the problem. The work one gives readable,
though ugly, draft text.
