Just curious:

Does anyone know if Windows 3.0 is going to have a proportional system font? 
If not, then, believe it or not, I have managed to fool Windows 2.11 into
using a proportional font as the system font! The results are much better,
especially letters like M and W, which appear like black blocks when MS-DOS
exec prints then in bold (for the directories, etc).

So far, I have only developed the font for VGA/Super VGA. Anyone interested in
trying it out?

Or perhaps I am all excited about "discovering" the oldest trick in the
book.
