I am trying to come up with a FIXED_SIZE font under ms-windows on an
EGA system s.t. that 80 characters will take up less than the complete
width of the screen.  I tried using CreateFont function, but it doesn't
seem to create FIXED_SIZE fonts that are less than 10 in height ==> takes
up the whole screen.  How easy would it be to create my own font using
Font Editor, and what's the difference between *.fnt and *.fon files
(*.fnt are created with the Font Editor) and how do I use fonts from
the above formats, I created *.fnt file, but I could not figure out
how to load it, nor could I load some sample fonts from *.fon format

Thanks for any pointers,

gary
