You want to use smaller fonts?
Easy.
Tell Win/3 to use a smaller font in the SYSTEM.INI file.
For instance, if you have VGA, use the EGA fonts.

Modify the SYSTEM.INI file where it shows VGA font names
to use EGA (Sorry, I'm doing this from memory so I can't
be specific).

Here's an idea; use Win's SETUP to state that you have an
EGA.  Then backup the SYSTEM.INI file and do the same for
VGA.  Compare the two and only modify the EGA/VGA differences
so that VGA screen fonts are used.

This does work, btw.  I have done this with my SVGA to use
EGA screen fonts.  And yes, you do get more information on
the screen.


E-mail me if the above was hopeful and not helpful.
